Music

Sher Music

Sher Music's first fake book was designed to include all the best original jazz compositions not included in the old, illegal Real Book. Composers include Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Russ Ferrante, John Scofield, and many more. Like all Sher Music fake books, it features composer-approved transcriptions, easy-to-read calligraphy, and many extras (sample bass lines, chord voicings, drum appendix, etc.) not found in conventional fake books.

Johnson, Marc

(Fake Book). The only professional-level Latin fake book on the market. Features classic &amp; contemporary salsa tunes, great Brazilian songs, and Latin Jazz classics. Bb &amp; Eb versions contain many horn parts that wouldn't fit in the C version. Like all Sher Music fake books, it features composer-approved transcriptions, easy-to-read calligraphy, and many extras (sample bass lines, chord voicings, drum appendix, etc.) not found in conventional fake books.

The Latin Real Book: C Edition

This is a practical, comprehensive approach to learning Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and South American styles of bass playing, featuring 3 CDs of Berklee professor Oscar Stagnaro playing with three different world-class rhythm sections. The book consists mostly of transcriptions of every note Oscar plays on the accompanying CDs. Some amazing music, and logically progressing from simple to complex examples of each style.

Stagnaro, Oscar

The only fake book that includes a free CD, featuring many of the melodies played by saxophone great Bob Sheppard and Friends. All original compositions by the best jazz writers: Chick Corea, Coltrane, Horace Silver, Michael Brecker, Miles, John Scofield, etc. Like all Sher Music fake books, it features composer-approved transcriptions, easy-to-read calligraphy, and many extras (sample bass lines, chord voicings, drum appendix, etc.) not found in conventional fake books.

The All-Jazz Real Book (C Version)

For intermediate improvisers. Same format as Volume 1 - songs on the left-hand page, all the information that a band director would have to write out for his/her students on the corresponding right-hand page. The material is all playable by a typical high school jazz combo, but the tunes are more challenging than Volume 1. Still saves the teacher countless hours of prep work, and is a great fake book, even without the educational material!
