The (original) Real Vocal Book, 738 pages (493 + 245).
Songs plus lyrics.From the Introduction
Looked over the Real Book and said, "Sure but what about lyrics?" We love vocals. Dug up all the words we could, some of them make us cringe - they just don't match those beautiful evergreen melodies. Got more and more excited as lots of rare and recently written lyrics cane in for all kinds of tunes especially be-bop.This book takes for granted Singer are Musicians. There's some amazing material here if you can read music, transpose tunes into your key and feel jazz. When singers speak the language of music and instrumentalists learn lyrics and do a little more singing themselves, vocalists and player can make beautiful music together.
We used Real Book charts for Real Book tunes with some alterations to make lyrics fit. The other tunes all come recommended.
Listened to a lot of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, Eddie Jefferson, Ella, Sarah, Carmen, Mark Murphy, Tony Bennett, Betty Carter etc. A lot of fun and hard work to get these charts together. We had to leave out introductory verses and scat solos this time - that would fill another book. agent ... This book is an invitation to do more singing. Have a good time with it!Songs
