A Handy Tool ! ! !,
This review is from: The Ultimate Fake Book (for C Instruments) (Plastic Comb)
Ha ! The reviewer below me made a good point (if you've never seen this book before), and I for one have no intention of typing out the 1200 tunes ! I'll tell you why I like it... I have loads of Jazz fake books. This for sure *isn't* "The Real Book", but its a nice collection of more poppish tunes that I find useful to have along on a gig because sometimes people do request those '50s, '60s or '70s pop tunes or even older "less hip" standards and tunes. Its one thing to play for "musicians" but what about when you play in restaurants, at weddings, or for real people? It also has those tunes that vocalists tend to call but that instrumental Jazz ensembles don't play as often (you know, showtunes, Barbara Streisand Stuff, etc. etc.) and even lot's of stuff good for wedding gigs (I WILL SURVIVE, LOVE THEMES from films like TOP GUN and FOOTLOOSE, MANDY, MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA, THE "IN" CROWD, GREAT BALLS OF FIRE, GETTING TO KNOW YOU, QUE SERA SERA, even JIVE TALKIN', I SHOT THE SHERIFF. and '70s stuff like PIANO MAN, JIVE TALKIN', BRANDY (You're a Find Girl), CELEBRATE and JULIE, DO YOU LOVE ME ! ! !) But its not just wedding band music... I've found some morsels in this one that aren't in most of my Jazz books... MORE TODAY THAN YESTERDAY, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TIME IT WAS, CRY ME A RIVER, THE JERSEY BOUNCE, SAMABA DE ORPHEAU, WALK ON THE WILD SIDE, etc. I can't list all 1200 tunes for you as I mentioned, but here are some of the categories... Hits of the 1910s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and a few from the 90s, Big Band Favorites, Broadway Show Hits, Movie Hits, TV Hits (including the THEME from CHEERS, THE ODD COUPLE and SECRET AGENT MAN), Country Classics (HEY GOOD LOOKIN, I WALK THE LINE, RING OF FIRE), folk songs (including PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON), Inspirational and Holiday Songs (and stuff like THE WEDDING BAND MARCH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY), Blues Dixieland and Jazz tunes, Polka, Singalongs (Special Requests and Novelty Tunes)", Songs in 3/4 Time, Latin Tunes (including A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A FOOL), and a few Hawaiin tunes. Overall, its some great ammunition to have on the gig... the print might be small, the changes "less hip" and the book, very bulky, but I really feel comfortable having this book around. The musicians are going to want to play Coltrane and Miles Davis, but the reality is, the people are going to request the type of tunes in the book, and those sit in vocalists are going to call them ! Be prepared !

A SONG LIST - Table of contents from ONE of the editions. (Check first!!),
By
This review is from: The Ultimate Fake Book (for C Instruments) (Plastic Comb)
2011 Update!
When I first posted this list in on September 25, 2004, I got the Table of Contents from the Hal Leonard Web site, but I did not know that they would publish later editions while apparently using the same ISBN number! In each edition, included songs likely change. The songs listed now at the H.L. site DIFFER from this list here. But I am leaving this list as a reference to the edition listed there when I first posted it. For a link, see my latest Comment related to this post. Or just go to their Web site directly, and search. (Current Amazon ISBN-10, related to my post here, is 0793529395.) 2004 List: * 'Way Down Yonder In New Orleans * ('Til) I Kissed You * (All Of A Sudden) My Heart Sings * (I Scream-You Scream-We All Scream For) Ice Cream * (I Wanna Go Where You Go - Do What You Do) Then I'll Be Happy * (I Wish I Was In) Dixie * (I Wonder Why?) You're Just In Love * (It's A) Beautiful Morning * (Just Like) Starting Over * (Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All * (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear * (Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I * (The Wreck Of The) 'John B' * (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs Of Dover * (There'll Be) Peace In The Valley (For Me) * (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me * (You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care * (You've Got) The Magic Touch * 1 2 3 * 77 Sunset Strip * A Blossom Fell * A Boy Without A Girl * A Cottage For Sale * A Day In The Life Of A Fool (Manha De Carnaval) * A Dreamer's Holiday * A Felicidade * A Fine Romance * A Foggy Day * A Good Man Is Hard To Find * A Guy Is A Guy * A Little Bird Told Me * A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening * A Man And A Woman (Un Homme Et Une Femme) * A Man Without Love (Quando M'Innamoro) * A Month Of Sundays * A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square * A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody * A Rose And A Baby Ruth * A Sign Of The Times * A String Of Pearls * A Teenager In Love * A Time For Us (Love Theme) * A Whiter Shade Of Pale * A Whole New World (Aladdin's Theme) * A Wonderful Day Like Today * A Wonderful Guy * Abilene * Abraham, Martin And John * Achy Breaky Heart (Don't Tell My Heart) * Across The Alley From The Alamo * Adia * Adios * Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn * After You've Gone * Afternoon Delight * Ain't Misbehavin' * Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got) * Air Mail Special * Alabama Jubilee * Alabamy Bound * Alexander's Ragtime Band * Alfie * All Alone * All Alone Am I * All At Once You Love Her * All By Myself * All I Ask Of You * All I Have To Do Is Dream * All Of Me * All Of You * All Shook Up * All The Things You Are * All You Need Is Love * Allegheny Moon * Alley Cat Song * Almost Paradise * Alright, Okay, You Win * Always * Always True To You In My Fashion * Amazing Grace * Amen * America, The Beautiful * Among My Souvenirs * And So It Goes * Annie's Song * Anniversary Song * Another Op'nin', Another Show * Answer Me My Love * Anything You Can Do * Apache * April In Paris * Aquellos Ojos Verdes (Green Eyes) * Are You Lonesome Tonight?

5.0 out of 5 stars
Formerly known as "The Book," - 1200 great songs,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Ultimate Fake Book (for C Instruments) (Plastic Comb)
I learned the hard way that this was formerly known as "The Book," and, except for the cover, the "Ultimate Fake Book" I bought is exactly the same as my copy of "The Book." Not to worry - it will make a great present for somebody.
All of the Hal Leonard "Ultimate" fake books are excellent, but this one and "The Best Fake Book Ever" are particularly generous, with lyrics, chords, and melody for some 1200 songs each. The variety is phenomenal - from Broadway to Folk to Big Band to current hits. My friends and I like to gather around a fake book and sing the night away. I can't think of a better way to spend an evening.
One complaint other than the mixup with the other book - the paperback cover and plastic looseleaf binding are a bit flimsy for a book this big.
