Review: The book contains a collection of music which is often not available elsewhere. - I truly enjoy using this fake book. It contains a number of pieces which are not easily found elsewhere. Review: Fats Lives! - First time in print for Fats Navarro's Nostalgia also rare Casbah ,Ray's Idea, I Waited for You, Ow! and Omicron, Donald Byrd from Whims of Chambers. The book goes a bit beyond Be Bop with tunes from the mid-late 50's 1960's and even 1980's with Voyage - Kenny Barron for Stan Getz. The best source recording for Nostalgia is from Charles McPherson Be Bop Revisited where they fill in the 2'nd piano fill with a phrase from the ending and then to solos.
