Monster Jazz
LTD
Hidden treasures and hip, hard-to-find charts.
Two legendary fakebooks merged into one powerful plugin. We extracted only the unique songs not found in any other fakebook, giving you 550 rare charts that will dramatically expand your repertoire with sophisticated, seldom-played masterpieces.
Requires Real Book Software v5.01. C Instruments Edition. Works on Windows and Mac.
Let's Do It Again.
Many jazz fake books include cloned songs that could already be found in one of the three volumes of the Real Book. Monster Jazz LTD takes a different approach.
We started with two classic, hard-to-find fakebooks, Monster Jazz Volume 1 and Jazz LTD, and extracted only the songs not presented elsewhere. The result is a single software program packed with 550 unique songs that are off the beaten path.
Hidden Treasures Found.
So few are so many incredible jazz compositions out there that fall into the "little known" or "seldom played" category. Some are hidden treasures.
These hip, hard-to-find charts are a tremendous way to expand your repertoire, explore new possibilities on your instrument and breathe new life into your performances. They separate the masters from the students.
Hidden Treasures
Two Fakebooks
550 Unique Songs
And Then Two Become One.
With so many cool tunes still left out there, we decided to take two classic fakebooks, Monster Jazz Volume 1 and Jazz LTD, and extract only the unique songs that were not presented elsewhere, in other fakebooks.
Then we combined that freshly excavated treasure into one powerful Real Book Software plugin: Monster Jazz LTD, with 550 rare songs across 563 pages.
