"The Latin Real Easy Book" Just Released!

After about two years of work, we have finally finished a great new fake book – "The Latin Real Easy Book." This is the fourth in our "Real Easy" series of fake books designed for classroom use, with educational material tailored for each tune as part of the chart. But this volume features exclusively great Latin jazz, salsa classics and Brazilian music. A wonderful feature is that we have audio files for every tune in the book on "The Latin Real Easy Book" page so you can hear the songs. Some gorgeous music is there and I hope all you jazz fans out there will take the time to explore the songs we’ve presented.

It’s hard to know what is more beautiful – Ivan Lins’ scrumptious melodies, Tito Puente’s slamming version of Chucho Valdés’ “Triton,” or Tito Rodriguez’ soulful rendition of “Si Te Contara,” just to name a few. All of the composers have contributed to making the world a better place because of their artistic creations—and we hope that you will enjoy the book and pass along their message of positive energy by adding these tunes to your band’s repertoire.

Have fun! – Chuck Sher
