For all Real Book enthusiasts, the “Reharmonized real Book” offers the same contents as the regular Real Book Volume 1, but the chords in many of the tunes have been “freshened up.” The book gives examples of how melodies can be harmonized in various styles. Author Jack Grassel has given some songs fewer changes, some more changes, some different alterations, and some songs a more modern sound. Rather than replace the original Real Book, “The Reharmonized Real Book” will work in tandem with it and improve performances for any jazz musician.
