songs in The Ultimate Jazz Fake Book is a result of an exhaustive effort
to represent the many styles of music that make up that beloved idiom
we call jazz. The styles found in this collection include: traditional,
swing, bebop, Latin/bossa nova, hard bop/modern jazz and Tin Pan Alley
standards/show tunes.
Spanning more than nine decades of music, The Ultimate Jazz Fake
Book fills a void for many musicians whose active repertoires could not
possibly include this vast collection of classic jazz compositions and
durable songs.
About Hal Leonard Fake Books
A
"fake book" contains songs written in a concise format that includes
only the melody and chords, letting you interpret the song's performance
as you feel is appropriate. This is great for quickly learning songs by
yourself or with an ensemble.
Each song in a fake book only has a
single melody actually written out in notes, which is usually the vocal
or lead melody. This melody will have the lyrics written beneath the
notes, with each word aligned to its corresponding note. Above the notes
of the melody will appear the names of the appropriate chords to play -
for example, a "C minor" chord would be written as "Cmin" or Cm",
rather than writing out all of the notes in those chords as they
appeared in the original version of the song.
This format is very compact, which is why you will often see fakebooks containing 500 or more songs.
Very good condition
