When a song becomes a "standard" and is remade by many different artists, it's not hard to see that the original structure of the song could be lost after many different remakes. After all, each artist likes to put their own unique twist to whatever song they are doing, and that's okay. But, sometimes the original beauty of the piece needs to be remembered. Such is the mind-set of those who created the Jazz Bible Fake Book series. This collection restores those classic jazz standards to their original melody line with the original chord structures written above the music, in a typical "fake book" format. Each song is transcribed for piano, vocals, guitar, electronic keyboards, and all "C" instruments. This extensive book also includes a chord glossary, artist index and bios, common usage chords, a title index and large size music notation. A specialized edition, this compilation covers the hot jazz of the 1950's. So, go ahead! Let this music help you to tap into the birth of "cool".
