Me too! Thanks.wow thanks so much guys......shotgun that link is great .....thankyou
Here you go. Real BookNow if I could find the written music to go with the play alongs I would be set
You will find virtually all of the "standards" in the Real Book will be in the same key as the play along accompaniments. If you run across one that is different, guess what? You get to learn to transpose the melody and the chords. Isn't that neat?Cool but how would I know if they were in the same key as the play alongs.....sorry I am new at this
I bought a DVD on Ebay with all the old Real Books and a bunch of other stuff on it. It was maybe 10$.Now if I could find the written music to go with the play alongs I would be set
Wow, guys! This is AMAZING stuff for an old geezer like myself. Thanks for the great sites and the terrific information.
They are pretty good. Nice recordings and the playing is great. And they are wav files. Not all the songs are included though. Maybe 40-50% of the tunes that are in the book.I see Hal Leonard co. are now producing the Real Book with playalong cds. Has anyone tried these? They look very interesting.
Wow! Now there is a role model. He's awesome and shouldn't just be on YouTube. I had never heard him before, so many thanks John.Paul,
I haven't been keeping up as much as I should with the membership here, but this is the second post I've seen in the past 10 minutes in which you reference your "geezer"-hoodedness.... Please take the time to check out this youtube link Aubra Graves.... I personally empathize with you, but bow in reverence to the mighty Aubra... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92mHdGVFV8k
Enjoy,

Thanks for the info. Only 40-50% of the book? I was expecting them all to be there. Ah well, you`ve saved me a few quid, cheers.They are pretty good. Nice recordings and the playing is great. And they are wav files. Not all the songs are included though. Maybe 40-50% of the tunes that are in the book.
Can you buy the CD's separately from the books? I already have the Real Book and the New Real Book, so I don't want to have to buy those again, but looking on Amazon I can't tell if what they are selling is the book plus 3 CD's or just a 3 CD set package for each alphabetical section of the book by itself for those who already have the book. Does anyone know what is what with that?They are pretty good. Nice recordings and the playing is great. And they are wav files. Not all the songs are included though. Maybe 40-50% of the tunes that are in the book.
