Any real jazz musicians will dig this,
This review is from: Straight Ahead Jazz Fakebook: Piano Edition (Fakebooks) (Paperback)
This book is the jazz musicians dream, nice tunes presented in easy to look at format. None of that junk you get with those other fakebooks, this is the best ever. Anybody who includes Hank Mobley in a fakebook gets my vote.

The Only source for these tunes,
By Michael J Edelman (Huntington Woods, MI USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Straight Ahead Jazz Fakebook: Piano Edition (Fakebooks) (Paperback)
Of all the fake books out there (including a well known set of under-the-counter ones owned by all jazz musicians), this is the *only* one that has all, or even most, of the tune found here. You've got tunes by Jackie McClean, Hal Galper, Dexter Gordon, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson... you get the idea. If you know who these players are... you need this book.

By ccgeezer (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Straight Ahead Jazz Fakebook: Piano Edition (Fakebooks) (Paperback)
I really like this book and it includes Larry Young's "Ritha", one of the best jazz lines ever.
