This Dixieland Real Book is a fantastic tool for vocal coaching and accompaniment. The inclusion of melody lines, full lyrics, and chord symbols provides a complete framework. It allows me to create supportive piano textures that highlight the singer, rather than just doubling, making it versatile for various vocal ranges and performance styles.

As a gigging musician, this Dixieland Real Book is a lifesaver. With nearly 250 authentic standards and clear chord symbols, I can instantly respond to requests. The comb-binding is crucial, letting it lay flat on any stand – no more fighting pages mid-set! A truly indispensable, time-saving collection for any working C instrument player.

This Real Book is perfect for my piano students learning jazz standards. The easy-to-read, hand-written notation clarifies melodies, aiding in rhythm and sight-reading. With clear chord symbols, it's excellent for introducing improvisation and arrangement basics. Its comprehensive collection and durable comb-binding make it an invaluable, practical resource for any studio.

A MUST HAVE for any Dixieland band! Clearly and professionally written. The melody is a great help for the lead instruments. The chords allow for playing (and learning) improvisation. The words allow singing which helps the band sound and look and sound more professional and FUN. Very nice range of songs and easy to follow for all skill levels.The folks at Sheet Music Plus were both competent and kind. They were able to clarify and answer the couple of questions I had. We plan on using this book in the upcoming dixieland jazz festivals.

The Real Dixieland Book contains the verse and chorus to many popular and hard to find dixieland tunes. Comes in C, Bb, and Eb editions. A real necessity for any fake gig.

A great book!! However, since I play tenor sax and clarinet I would like a version for Bb instruments, so I don't have to transpose every tune I want my quartet to play.Are you planning to publish Bb and Eb versions??

I play tenor banjo in a band and go to jams. This book has almost 250 entries including blues and rags. The songs have words. The tunes include intros and verse, not just the chorus. I come back to this book time and time again. I highly recommend it!
