5.0 out of 5 stars Best Fake Book I have found, May 26, 2000

This review is from: The Best Fake Book Ever: B-flat Edition (Plastic Comb)

I hunted all through the Hal Leonard site and I couldn't evencome up with any fake book that had "How Sweet It Is" init. This book has everything from "What a Wonderful World" to "Blue Skies." I have never found such a complete book. If you are looking to find some songs to entertain with, this book has all the songs you'll need. You will recognize more songs in the book then you can memorize. I am excited to have it, and I really can never stop opening it up and playing.

I have ten fake books that I use with my duo/trio. This book is as good as any book you can buy. I find most of the charts are in the original key which helps when your keyboard man play from memory. GREAT BOOK

Good resource. I use it in small group performance. The tunes of a more recent era of jazz and very playable.
