Thanks!

The JDM Jazz Fakebook Index is an index of about 2 dozen fake books and also Jamey Aebersold Play Alongs.
P.S. - The Jazz LTD fake book is on the site that Bop Head posted a link to, but the attached copy is about 1/3rd the size.Last edited by Mick-7; 10-29-2024 at 09:52 PM.

I'm sure many errors remain, but as an owner of the RB c. 1975, I believe it has been improved significantly.

Given that the word book stems from the Proto-Germanic b?ks and the meaning of that word, it more or less follows that "digital fake books" is a pleonasm
(I admit, I didn't feel like posting in one of the "what are you ????? now" threads )
