The Creole Jazz Band Fakebook (C)
C Treble Clef
This Fake Book has been assembled in 2023 with tunes that have been written prior to 1927 which makes them out of
copyright in the USA. This Fakebook has been produced in the following versions: C Treble, Bb Treble, Eb Treble, Bass Clef,
Tuba Bass Clef.
We are pleased to advise the 2023 version of The Creole Jazz Band fake book contains even more tunes, including tunes
copyrighted up to and including 1926, which are out of copyright as of this year.
Many bands are using tablets for their music so it seems only natural that the fake book should be adapted to maximize the
benefits of working on a computer. We have taken a baby step towards incorporating all of the benefits of an electronic
book by setting up bookmarks for all of the tunes. Once you find the tune you want in the bookmarks, all you need do is to
tap, or click, on the tune name, and the book will immediately jump to that tune.
These Fake Books are offered at no charge. Please enjoy them and share them as you see fit. Rather than selling these and
having someone pay us, we are asking that instead you "pay it forward". For those of you who don't know the concept of
paying it forward, here is a quote from the movie of the same name which explains the concept.
"You see, I do something real good for three people. And then when they ask how much they can pay it back, I say they have
to Pay It Forward to three more people. So nine people get helped. Then those people have to do twenty-seven".
Be sure to check out www.simplyearlyjazz.com as Scott, our clarinet player has fabulous charts there for incredibly
low prices. He also has superb transcriptions of old recordings. You can even get some of our own arrangements there
under the folder "The Creole Jazz Band" as well as the Creole Jazz Band fake book in C Treble, Bb Treble, Eb Treble, Bass
clef and tuba.
We are always looking for ideas from the users of the book for improvements in the book, tunes you want to see included,
and any other enhancements you are looking for. We cannot guarantee that we will adopt every idea, but please be sure to
let us know anyway. Please let us know of any errors in these fake books so we can fix them.
We hare using our new numbering system for the edition of the fake book from here on. We are simply going with the year
of publication. The 2021 edition was put out in 2021. This 2022 edition was put out in 2022, and the 2023 edition is put out
in 2023. We hope this will make it easier for everyone to keep up-to-date with the latest edition.
On behalf of the lads in the band, we hope you enjoy the book.
