The Real Christmas Book – 2nd Edition Bb Edition Fake Book Softcover

Series: Fake Book
Publisher: Hal Leonard
Format: Softcover
Composer: Various

The Christmas collection that all jazz cats will want in their stocking!

The Real Christmas Book - 2nd Edition - B-flat Edition comes with hundreds of Christmas classics and a whole lot of history. Dating back to the 1940s, jazz musicians used “fake books” for their nightly gigs. These books contained basic melodies or chords–the cliff notes of full compositions–enough for musicians to “fake” their way through a song. Although popular, they were illegally produced and distributed... Cue Hal Leonard!

Hal Leonard acquired the necessary materials to bring musicians the first legitimate and legal version of The Real Book. For jazz musicians in need of some variety, there are dozens of Real Books for different genres, instruments, and even specialty themes–like Christmas! Whether you're playing at the next holiday party, or rockin' around the tree at home, The Real Christmas Book is just what you need.

Featuring plastic comb binding, lyrics, and 150 traditional and contemporary Christmas hits, it's a miracle that this collection fits underneath the tree! Find all the best jingles such as: All I Want for Christmas Is You • Auld Lang Syne • Baby, It's Cold Outside • Blue Christmas • The Chipmunk Song • The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) • Christmas Time Is Here • Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Op. 71a • Feliz Navidad • Happy Holiday • Happy Xmas (War Is Over) • (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays • I'll Be Home for Christmas • I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm • It Must Have Been the Mistletoe (Our First Christmas) • It's Beginning to Look like Christmas • Last Christmas • Merry Christmas, Darling • My Favorite Things • Santa Baby • Santa, Bring My Baby Back (To Me) • Silver Bells • We Need a Little Christmas • You're All I Want for Christmas • and more.

The Real Christmas Book is your ticket to the North Pole this holiday season! While this version is written for Bb instruments, check out the rest of the Real Book Series for editions in C, E-flat, and Bass Clef.
