(Fake Book). The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s; musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig; night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed without any copyrights or royalties paid to the master composers who created these musical canons. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You and your customers wont even notice the difference...the covers look the same; the engravings look the same; the songlist is nearly identical; and the price remains fair even on a musicians salary! But every conscientious musician and music store owner will appreciate that these books are now produced legally and ethically; benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest music ever written! This bass clef edition contains 400 songs; including: Aint Misbehavin * All or Nothing at All * Along Came Betty * Cheek to Cheek * East of the Sun (And West of the Moon) * Funkallero * H H * Ive Got the World on a String * Ive Got You Under My Skin * The Jive Samba * The Lady Is a Tramp * Milestones * Moonlight in Vermont * A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square * On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever) * Samba De Orfeu * Stormy Weather (Keeps Rainin All the Time) * Things Aint What They Used to Be * The Very Thought of You * Violets for Your Furs * Watermelon Man * and more.

Different Learners. and Their AdmirersBy Jokie X WilsonThis is the most complete. clear. and concise book on this topic that I have found to date. The anecdotal evidence is thorough without dominating the text. The explanation of what synesthesia is and is not is superb. The discussion about artists is intelligent end never gets corny. The art supplied as examples is not so much a review of great masters. but some imagery that clearly illustrates the concepts. While the book reflects the limitations of what is currently known about synesthesia. it is as contemporary as anything else I have read. Its an up-to-date. great read that will leave you prepared for what may be discovered next with this fascinating phenomenon.Please see also my review of Synesthesia: Perspectives from Cognitive Neuroscience.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Interesting layout and information within.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. interesting...but slightly repetitiveBy Srinath RavichandranLiked the real life examples. Liked the comprehensive analysis. Liked the detailed description of theories to explain synesthesia. At times I found it a little repetitive though.Overall a good book to make the concept. nature of synesthesia less of a foreign topic to non synesthetes.
