You've heard of The Real Book, right? Although it's a cool source of music, it's got a lot of inaccuracies, and more importantly, it's illegal. The composers don't get a nickel for their work.

Enter Chuck Sher & Sher Music. They've put together "The New Real Book" series (Vol. I, II & III) with the cleanest looking charts you've ever seen. And now they've come out with the next edition, "The Standards Real Book." It's an all-new collection, with no duplications from the New Real Books. Here's the press release:

Folks - Just a note to let you know that Sher Music Co., (publisher of "The New Real Books", Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book", etc.) has just released THE STANDARDS REAL BOOK!

With almost 600 pages of the best tunes by Gershwin, Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart, Jobim, Ellington, Van Heusen & Cahn and many more, this should quickly become the most widely-used fake book ever published. Includes alternate jazz changes, lyrics and does not duplicate tunes in our earlier books.

Thanks! - Chuck Sher
