Description Bb Edition. 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 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 and your customers 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! But every conscientious musician and music store owner 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! 400 songs (All Of A Sudden) My Heart Sings 52nd Street Theme A Ballad A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening A Portrait Of Jenny A Walkin' Thing A Weaver Of Dreams A Wonderful Day Like Today Ablution Adam's Apple Affirmation Air Mail Special Alfie's Theme All Alone (Left Alone) Alto Itis Another Star April Skies Are You Havin' Any Fun?
