For years, jazz musicians have relied on real books as a source of repertoire, and as a way of learning the classic, must-know tunes that are a rite of passage for any developing musician. There is no doubt that real books document a vital part of jazz history - but what about the history being made right now?
For over a decade, Fundamental Changes has served a growing audience of guitar players with the best music educational material available, and has now partnered with award-winning New York composer/educator Joel Harrison to produce a new, one-of-a-kind real book for modern jazz music.
Modern Jazz Standards for Guitar brings together over 60 original compositions from a roster of incredible contemporary jazz guitarists. Included are contributions from numerous legends of modern jazz guitar, as well as exciting, innovative new artists who are breaking new sonic ground:
