Hello,

Help needed to find the 557 Jazz standards in B flat. I find several pages with the C version in PDF, but I play tenor and need the Bb version. Does somebody have this version in PDF or knows were I can buy one printed or digital?

Thanks, Yvonne

I also have it in C if you want.
But the songs are small and it is very easy to transcribe if a bit boring though.
I have in C for the piano. It is good practise to transpose the chords and the simple melodies in real time in your head.

Not sure I've ever seen the '557' book other than in C. If you need a Bb book, why not use one of the other 'fake books' that are available in various places on the internet?

Lots of places.
Here's one. Seems to have a lot of overlap with the real books which can be found in multiple keys as others have said.

Yvonne, this is a great opportunity to learn to play from C concert charts while transposing in your head. This is a very useful skill to acquire if you ever want to play with other people. The sooner you start developing it the better off you’ll be in a few years.

Why? The OP is not questioning why saxes need to be transposed. Different topic.

Exactly, I was referring to your post.

Hmm...It would appear you've introduced the irrelevant dead horse you're tired of beating.
