People often ask what fake books they should bring to camp, and there are two answers.
The first is that you really don’t need a fake book because we provide all the music you’ll need for combo playing, big band, and even jam sessions.
The second answer has to do with the hidden meaning behind the question, which seems to be: “What fake books do you recommend?” On that one, the answer is easy. Now that The Real Book series has been legalized and legitimized by Hal Leonard, that’s the one you’ll find in most jazzers’ gig bags. We’ve seen at least three volumes and numerous editions. Get the latest.
We also like almost anything put out by Sher Music. We’ve used both The Real Easy Book and The New Real Books for camp activities.
If anyone else has favorites, please let us know.
