The Real Book – Volume II – Second Edition Eb Edition by Various E-Flat Instrument - Sheet Music

By Various

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 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 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, including: Air Mail Special * Birdland * Bye Bye Blackbird * Caravan * Doxy * Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words) * Georgia * Girl Talk * In Walked Bud * I Remember You * I Thought About You * The Jody Grind * Just the Way You Are * Killer Joe * Little Sunflower * Mercy, Mercy, Mercy * Moanin' * The Nearness of You * Now's the Time * Old Devil Moon * Phase Dance * St. Thomas * Speak Low * Stardust * Tangerine * Tenor Madness * Watch What Happens * Whisper Not * Willow Weep for Me * Yardbird Suite * and more.About Fake Book: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.

    Excellent Foundation for Accompaniment

    For a collaborative pianist or vocal coach, this Real Book Eb Edition is invaluable. While formatted for E-flat instruments, the clear lead sheets with melody and chord symbols provide a perfect blueprint for accompanying singers or instrumentalists. The flexible fake book format allows me to craft my own voicings and piano texture to best support the vocal line, without being tied to a fixed arrangement.

    Indispensable Gig Book

    This Real Book Vol. II Eb Edition is a lifesaver on any jazz gig. With 400 tunes, it covers almost any request, and the chord symbols are spot-on, making charts reliable. The format is standard, so it's quick to navigate in a live setting. It's a hefty volume at 440 pages, so plan for page turns, but the sheer breadth of repertoire makes it an absolute essential for any working E-flat musician.

    Essential Resource for Jazz Students

    This Eb Real Book is fantastic for intermediate to advanced jazz students. The clear melody lines and accurate chord symbols provide a solid foundation for learning improvisation and harmonic analysis. While fingering isn't included (typical for fake books), it encourages students to develop their own musical solutions. The engraving is clean, making reading a breeze. A must-have for jazz pedagogy!
