A fake book is a collection of musical lead sheets intended to help a performer quickly learn new songs. Each song in a fake book contains the melody line, basic chords, and lyrics - the minimal information needed by a musician to make an impromptu arrangement of a song, or "fake it."


The fake book is a central part of the culture of playing music in public, particularly in jazz, where improvisation is particularly valued.Fake books are not intended for novices: the reader must follow and interpret the scant notation, and generally needs to have thorough familiarity with chords and sheet music. However, fake books can be an avenue to playing songs quickly; a few chords and a one-note melody line can allow even an amateur to play a passable version of any song with relative ease.Despite the name, fake books are often unbound, consisting of a thick, loose stack of sheets.

Le Real Book (nommé ainsi par allusion humoristique aux Fake Books des années 1940 et 1950), est un livre qui rassemble de nombreux standards de jazz. Ce terme désigne en général le 1er volume d'une série transcrite et rassemblée par des étudiants du Berklee College of Music durant les années 1970.


Le bassiste Steve Swallow et le pianiste Paul Bley ont pris en charge la transcription du livre. C'est pourquoi leurs compositions et celles d'autres personnes de leur entourage constituent une large partie du Real Book, parmi des standards et des compositions classiques de jazz.


Le Real Book est devenu la ressource indispensable de tout musicien de jazz en herbe. Il est également très pratique pour les musiciens professionnels de travailler à partir du Livre (The Book), car il est disponible en différentes éditions pour convenir aux instruments en si bémol, mi bémol ou en tonalité de référence (en do, ou concert-pitch): un chef de groupe peut annoncer les numéros de page, des joueurs expérimentés peuvent lire d'un seul coup d'œil des morceaux qu'ils ne connaissent pas.


Avant l'avènement d'Internet, il était difficile d'en trouver des copies. The New Real Book, également en trois volumes, publié chez Sher Music, et est plus lisible. Le recueil de morceaux diffère de celui du Real Book d'origine, mais certains morceaux y sont repris, dans de nouvelles transcriptions et avec une polygraphie bien meilleure. Le vieux real book contient de nombreuses erreurs (grilles parfois approximatives, tonalités des enregistrements de référence non respectées, accidents - bémols ou dièses - oubliés, et des attributions fantaisistes: par exemple, le compositeur de Journey to Recife n'est pas Bill Evans, mais le contrebassiste Richard L. Evans) et que les "New real books" proposent des relevés plus exacts.


Aujourd'hui, des cédérom regroupant un grand nombre des fake et real books (dont les 3 vieux) circulent dans le milieu de musiciens de jazz. Les partitions sont au format pdf. Il va sans dire la vente de ces cédérom est totalement illégale.

A lead sheet or fake sheet is a form of musical notation that specifies the essential elements of a popular song: the melody, lyrics and harmony. The melody is written in modern Western music notation, the lyric is written as text below the staff and the harmony is specified with chord symbols above the staff.


A collected volume of lead sheets may be known as a fake book, due to the improvisational nature of its use: when presented with a lead sheet, proficient musicians may be able to "fake it" by performing the song adequately without a full score.[2] This is in contrast to a full score, in which every note to be played in a piece is written out. Since fake books and lead sheets only give a rough outline of the melody and harmony, the performer or arranger is expected to improvise significantly.


A lead sheet is often the only form of written music used by a small jazz ensemble. One or more musicians will play the melody while the rest of the group improvises an appropriate accompaniment based on the chord progression given in the chord symbols, followed by an improvised solo also based on the chord progression. Similarly, a sufficiently skilled jazz pianist is able to accompany a singer and perform a song by themselves using only a lead sheet.


A variant type of lead sheet contains only the chord progressions to the song. These sheets could be used by the rhythm section instruments to guide their improvised accompaniment and by "lead instruments" for their improvised solo sections, but since they do not contain the melody, they can be used in performances only by players who have the melodies memorized. Lead sheets are commonly used at informal "jam sessions" and at jazz shows at small nightclubs and bars.


A predecessor to lead sheets was created in May 1942 when George Goodwin, a radio station director, released the first Tune-Dex cards. Printing on 3-by-5-inch (7.6 by 12.7 cm) index cards that had the same size as library catalog cards, Goodwin provided lyrics, melody and chord symbols as well as copyright information.[4] Goodwin also promoted the cards to professional musicians until 1963, when poor health forced his retirement. For many years the "standard" fake books were called simply "Fake Books". All were composed of songs illegally printed, with no royalties paid to the copyright owners. In 1964, the FBI's Cleveland, Ohio, office observed that "practically every professional musician in the country owns at least one of these fake music books as they constitute probably the single most useful document available".[4]


In the 2000s, some types of "real books" have been published which fully respect copyright laws. In the same period, some electronic "fake books" became available, which offer instant transposition. This facilitates the performance of music at shows where some performers have transposing instruments, or in shows with a singer who wants the band to play in a different key to accommodate their vocal range.
