Hal Leonard Sixth Volume of Real Book

Hal Leonard Corporation is proud to unveil a new volume in the songbook series for jazz musicians in the world: The Real Book Volume 6.

This volume includes a brand new collection of 400 jazz tunes and jazzy arrangements of pop and show standards with no duplication of titles in earlier volumes.

Volume 6 (C Edition, HL00240534, $39.99) continues the Real Book formula with professionally notated and edited music for accuracy in melody, harmony and rhythm with attention paid to form within each tune, including both phrases and larger sections, clearly delineated and placed in obvious visual arrangement. A variety of recordings and alternate editions were consulted to create the most accurate and user-friendly representations of the tunes, whether used in a combo setting or as a solo artist. In addition to the immediately-recognizable “jazz” font, all two-page tunes open to face one another for ease of use during playing; most standard-type tunes remain true to their original harmonies with little or no reharmonization with a few exceptions for jazzy interpretations of popular songs and Broadway show tunes, as well as some modifications using modern notation and variation among turnarounds.
