Reading on another post about getting a Real Book, there are Real Books and there are "fake" books. Even theories on which Real Book is THE book to get.
I read recently the "Real Book Edition 5" is considered THE book to get since it comes closer to any book in the series of establishing and presenting the songs as originally published or documented and played as used by thousands of jazz musicians all over the world for many years. However I hear it is hard to find.
According to what was written, the later version, version 6, comes close but leaves out some songs, has incomplete charts, etc.
Anyone else read this or have more knowledge of the Edition 5 as opposed to the newer version 6, or was this simply misinformation? An uninformed author?
Any thoughts on the matter? Or would any Real Book suffice?
As crazy as it sounds, at 53 I'm sorta wanting to get into the blues and jazz scenes more and more around the D/FW area. With UNT, TCU, TWU, and SMU all within 1 hour away from each other the jazz scene is beginning to make a comback. Several noteable jazz and blues clubs are now mainstays with devoute followings. Buttons, Scat Jazz Lounge, etc.
Thanks!
