“The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s, musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed, without any regard to copyright law, or royalties paid to the composers who created these musical masterpieces.

Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won’t even notice the difference, other than that all of the notorious errors have been fixed: the covers and typeface look the same, the song list is nearly identical, and the price for our edition is even cheaper than the original! Every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced accurately and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest tunes of all time! Includes 400 songs: All Blues Au Privave Autumn Leaves Black Orpheus Bluesette Body and Soul Bright Size Life Con Alma Dolphin Dance Don’t Get Around Much Anymore Easy Living Epistrophy Falling in Love with Love Footprints Four on Six Giant Steps Have You Met Miss Jones? How High the Moon I’ll Remember April Impressions Lullaby of Birdland Misty My Funny Valentine Oleo Red Clay Satin Doll Sidewinder Stella by Starlight Take Five There Is No Greater Love Wave and hundreds more! Editions also available in B-flat, E-flat, and Bass Clef.
