Since the early 1970s, Real Books have provided jazz classics and standards for small jazz groups around the world. To help modern musicians approach some of these jazz standards with a fresh perspective, Hal Leonard is proud topresent The Reharmonized Real Book. By re-tooling songs featured in the original Real Book, the Reharmonized Real Book shows new options on how melodies can be harmonized. Starting with a blank Real Book with only the melodiesincluded, editor Jack Grassel reharmonized 393 songs, giving some songs fewer changes, some more changes, some different alterations, and some songs a more modern sound. Rather than replace the original Real Book, The ReharmonizedReal Book will work in tandem with it and improve performances for jazz musicians around the world. Songs include: Afro Blue · Afternoon in Paris · Água De Beber (Water to Drink) · Alfie · All the Things You Are · Anthropology ·Au Privave · Autumn in New York · Autumn Leaves · Body and Soul · But Beautiful · Call Me Irresponsible · Confirmation · Darn That Dream · Desafinado · Don't Get Around Much Anymore · Donna Lee · Epistrophy · Falling in Love withLove · (I Love You) for Sentimental Reasons · Giant Steps · The Girl from Ipanema (Garota De Ipanema) · God Bless' the Child · How Insensitive (Insensatez) · I'll Never Smile Again · In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning · LadySings the Blues · Like Someone in Love · Maiden Voyage · Nostalgia in Times Square · Ornithology · Prelude to a Kiss · Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Corcovado) · Satin Doll · Stella by Starlight · Take Five · Take the A Train ·Waltz for Debby · When I Fall in Love · Yesterdays · and more.
