These Happened at the Same Time.
When the Real Book was first published, there was a fake book and another series called Spaces. There were six different volumes: Spaces I through VI, covering Classic, Contemporary, Mixed Bag, Compendium, Bebop, and Solos.
Most of them were direct copies of the charts that were in the Real Book. However, there was one volume that was quite distinct from the others: the Volume VI Solos. Even today, this one is quite rare. It was never readily available.
We have brought that rare collection into the digital software realm. Now you can study 187 solos by 72 jazz masters from the 1920s to the 1970s, every magnificent style of jazz music gets covered here.

187 Solos
Don't Reinvent the Wheel.
All of the solos are already transcribed for you. You do not have to sit down and acquire the recordings. You do not have to find the beginning of the solo within the recording.
All of the transcriptions and recordings are already organized for you. You do not have to search through thousands of recordings hoping to find the correct one that matches the solo.
Sort by title, soloist, tempo, key, or instrument. Whether you play Piano, Trumpet, Sax, Bass, Flute, Vibes, Trombone, Violin, Clarinet, or Jazz Guitar, these solos offer a masterclass in jazz phrasing and improvisation.
Ready to StudyGoing Solo.
187 solos by 72 different artists on 11 instruments. 400 pages of solos spanning over 50 years of jazz, from the 1920s to the 1970s. Every magnificent style of jazz music gets covered here.
And another nice perk: even though these are the full-length recordings, we have indicated the solo start times for you so there is no hunting around for where they are within the song.
Very convenient, yes?
