Also unsure if the fake book is bass parts or piano charts of his compositions[/quote] The 'more than a fake book' title refers to the fact that there is some history in there and its not just charts. The charts are mostly head charts with some detail on bass parts, multiple horns etc but no detailed transcriptions of Mingus' bass playing. Defintely worth the money, especially now we can listen to the tracks on Spotify (I had to buy all the cds - although I have never regretted it). Also recomended: Myself When I Am Real - Gene Santaro (excellent) Mingus - A Critical Biography - Brian Priestly (intelligent read) Tonight At Noon - Sue Graham Mingus (more personal but genuinely moving) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
