Description

The Bud Powell Real Book is a collection of 44 compositions written by the great jazz pianist, Bud Powell. These works, representing almost all of Bud Powell’s original music, have been painstakingly transcribed from the pianist/composer’s recordings, and arranged in lead sheet format. Some of the features include chord substitutions during the head and improvised sections and separate solo section chord changes when the chords used for improvisation differ from those used with the melody. In cases where the chord voicings used are a critical part of the arrangement, these are included. To see a page from the book, click here→

Two Bud Powell compositions that are not in the original book are included as two separate PDFs: “Bud’s Bubble” and “Buttercup.”
