For All Jazz Musicians: Real Book Index

The Excel file below contains a list of the songs in most of the real books (Real Books Volume 1-3, New Real Book Volumes 1-3, Latin Jazz Real Book, etc). The list is organized alphabetically by song title and has a search/filter feature so you can search for a particular song and then see all the books it is in and the page number.

I created a second list that contains the most common jam tunes. I keep a list of licks and this lick in front of me when I practice and constantly rotate the lick and song I am practicing.
