I went and bought the ultimate fake book 1200songs by Hal Leonards. I didn't like it, thinking of returning it tomorrow.
Personally I didn't like the chord progressions. Either they are not close to the original songs, or I have already figured the chords already
Any ideas what other book I should be getting? or perhaps a website link? I was told that a (jazz) singer may be in contact with me for a future wedding gig, so I need to brush up on some songs.
Thanks

Hi Jonas,
The fake books that I HIGHLY recommend are the Chuck Sher Fake Books. They were painstakenly edited and reviewed to insure that the chords are accurate and reflect what was 'actually played' by the hit recording artist on the record. The 'specific recording' is often credited as well. Perhaps I'm a little biased in my praise because the editor of many of the books in the Chuck Sher fake book series was none other than my former piano teacher, Larry Dunlap. - Scott
