Creole Jazz Band Fake Book 2025 Version
Here is a great collection of tunes available for free. Below is my good friend Kevin Yeates Description of his fantastic fake book.
This Fake Book has been assembled in 2025 with tunes that have been written prior to 1930 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.
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".
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 2024 edition was put out in 2024. This 2025 edition was put out in 2025, 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. Kevin Yeates
