Product Description:
Since the 1970s, musicians have trusted Real Book volumes to get them through every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed without any copyrights or royalties paid to the master composers who created these musical canons. 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...the covers look the same, the engravings look the same, the songlist is nearly identical, and the price remains fair even on a musician's salary. Every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced legally and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest music ever written. Volume 3 has 400 songs, including: Ain't Misbehavin' • All or Nothing at All • Along Came Betty • Cheek to Cheek • East of the Sun (And West of the Moon) • Funkallero • H & H • I've Got the World on a String • I've Got You Under My Skin • The Jive Samba • The Lady Is a Tramp • Milestones • Moonlight in Vermont • A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square • On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever) • Samba De Orfeu • Stormy Weather (Keeps Rainin' All the Time) • Things Ain't What They Used to Be • The Very Thought of You • Violets for Your Furs • Watermelon Man • and more.

Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band Swingin' For The Fences Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was feeling like a kid at Christmas when I found that the Big Phat Band had a dvd for Swingin' For The Fences.The CD is a real favorite of mine and with all the new technology and the high-definition improvements available for video, I expected another awesome gem to add to my music library.What I felt I got was a real rip-off.

Some may think the music carries the dvd, but my interpretation of a quality dvd is action to go with the music.This collection of still photos as the music plays along is a joke.

I'd suggest Mr. Goodwin talk to the producer of Lee Ritenour's latest dvd release "Overtime" to find out how to put out a product that will give you goosebumps because of quality music and video together!

If I could have given this a lower rating, I would have in an instant!If your thinking about getting this purchase, I suggest just get the cd - the music is awesome.If you want still pictures, don't spend $25 for them.Buy a good magazine!

The Music of John Coltrane (Jazz Giants) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While this book is an excellent collection of John Coltrane's compositions, I would not recommend buying it.For one thing, all of the music in the book has been transcribed from B flat (the key of tenor sax) to C.So, unless you like to instantaneously transcribe music as you playalong, or unless you just want to peck things out on a piano, this book isprobably not for you.Another disappointment is that the songs don'tinclude any of Coltrane's solos-- they merely give you the basic,introductory tune of the song, with some chord charts and repeat barsthrown in.Needless to say, I'm returning the book.

Miles Davis for Solo Guitar (Guitar Solo) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very nice collection of advanced solo pieces for jazz guitar. The selection is very solid, and the arrangments are really top notch. Jamie clearly put a lot of effort into this project and the outcome is apparant. There is virtually no pedagogy here - just the raw arrangments and a well recorded CD of jamie playing each tune at a performance level at normal speed. The CD alone is worth the cost of the package just as a listening CD. But be warned: although the arrangments are clean and sensibly voiced, the pieces are complex and will take considerable effort to master - but they are well worth it.
