Fakebook

[14nothing]

Hi guys

I'm a saxophonist/bass guitarist and I recently started a small jazz combo. :thumb:

We are looking for THE BEST JAZZ FAKEBOOK OUT THERE! There's loads of it out there, I know, but I want the best one in terms of repertoire and harmonically correctness.

Our jazz combo consists of a pianist, guitarist, bass guitarist and Eb and Bb saxes (switching all the time) and a drummer. Preferably the fakebook should have the progressions already transposed for each instrument (btw, do you get those? Guess i don't know much about fakebooks :confused:).

Please help me out!

there's no such thing as an already transposed fakebook in all keys.

You have to buy them seperately...
and as of now, The Realbook is the best on the market. You have to buy it in different keys or transpose it yourself, but there's tons of tunes in that book.

costs around $26.00

Hey Brood, I forgot to tell you man. One of the users on here uploaded three fakebooks for me. Well, actually for AG, but I hijacked the YSI link. :smoke: I've got Library Of Musicians' Jazz (loads of Charlie Parker/Dizzy Gillespie tunes, as well as Stan Getz and Chet Baker and such), The Colorado Cookbook (Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk and others), and a Bill Evans Fakebook (which is mostly Evans's original stuff, but there's some Davis in there as well).
