Summary of This Book
Designed by musicians for musicians, The New Real Book establishes itself as a modern reference in jazz fake books: a work tool as effective at home as it is indispensable on a music stand. This C and Vocal edition emphasizes versatility: you have melodies, chord symbols, and lyrics to approach both accompanying a singer and instrumental interpretation in a small group.
The content covers a broad spectrum of styles and eras, with essential standards and more specialized titles, perfect for enriching a set and exploring new paths. It includes compositions associated with major jazz figures and its boundaries (Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius...), as well as pieces that work particularly well in a "gig" context thanks to their clear forms and effective harmonic progressions.
Beyond a simple collection of themes, the book stands out through a performance-oriented approach: the readability of the notation facilitates sight-reading, and the "extras" (suggested bass lines, chord voicings, drum appendix) provide concrete ideas to build accompaniment, work on groove, or enrich your arrangements. Whether you are preparing a jam session, a cocktail event, a concert, or a rehearsal, this book helps you save time, secure your reading, and expand your jazz standards repertoire with a reliable and durable resource.
