I don't think it ever was as the site wouldn't do that. There might be a link to another site though, in someones post. Perhaps a search for '575'

I just found it in this forum & downloaded it to my computer.

After buying Hal Leonard's four Real Book volumes, I've gotten my fair share of legal books, but the 557 FB has a lot of great tunes that aren't in any of those. What's up with all the Gershwin tunes missing from the HL Real books anyway? There are a few, but there are also some glaring omissions.

@Ken (Guitarplayer007)

You can download mine here:

557 jazz standards swing to bop in c (real book, sheet music, score).pdf

It has a better print than the old version.

Kind regards,

Same here. A big chunk of pages is missing and do not show. Other sources I found of the newer version have the same problem so it is the same corrupt electronic file.

As I understand it, HL only publishes those tunes they have themselves bought the rights to. Thus the explanation may be that they don't own the rights to the mentioned Gershwin tunes and don't want to pay others for the inclusion in their books.

Alfred has the Gershwin stuff. Alfred Publishing has two great Real Books - Just Jazz Real Book & Just Standards Real Book. The changes are correct and they offer alternate changes as well.
