What we've all done is what was already said, Google is your friend and you can find them all but it's a bit of work. So no, PGM is not about to rename those demo songs with the real titles those chords go with. They use another title for the demo song. Therefore, in the Biab demo songs there are a ton of standard jazz chord changes but not with the actual song title. Maybe they win just on the song title issue, who knows but they don't want to mess with that. If they get sued look at the time and legal costs involved. Think their might be a problem with that? Who knows but what small company wants to take that chance? All those classic jazz songs still have valid copyrights and owned by somebody, if not the original artist then their estates or someone else like Sony Music bought them up. Imagine if someone came up with a completely original song and called it Hotel California or Thriller. I'm not a copyright expert but using a classic song title for the name of a different song is a grey area. When it comes to using actual song titles PG Music won't go that far either because they're also worried about copyright. Notes Norton is a long time professional gigging musician so I'm pretty sure his Fake Book songfiles are correct as well.įree or very cheap means you get what you pay for, if you want them correct then that costs money. If you want correct and professional songs with everything correct you have to buy midi files from the well known websites that sell those. You'll find lots of errors in Biab songfiles as well for the same reason. I use that app too and find it helpful but still, lots of errors there. That sounds sketchy to me if push came to shove and they got busted for copyright violations.Īnd that is one of the problems with iRealPro, many of their chords are incorrect but it's because they're done by amateur users. They're worried about copyright too because they're linking song titles to the chords so they use users to get around that. Melody and lyrics are copywritten and cannot be included which is why iRealPro only has chords but even they do not produce those chord charts as a company, they're all provided by users on their forum. This question has come up many, many times before but everybody wants the melody and/or lyrics. You are the very first one I've seen on this forum in 12 years who would be happy with just the chords to jazz standards. Boom, ready to go! Surely this same functionality is available for BIAB? What's the deal? I just bought the iReal Pro app for my Android and in one click I downloaded 1,350 jazz standards. Plus two chord substitution disks for standards by Dick Hyman and five by Frank Mantooth.Īm I missing it or is there nowhere to download backing tracks for jazz standards into BIAB? Seems like this should be an obvious and high demand function and I can't find it. Jazz standards (and the name of the books associated with them): For the free samples, looked for the linked titles in the song lists.Ĭomplete listing of my fake 'disks' are here: On each of the following linked pages there is a complete song list and one or more "free samples". I do them with 'off the shelf' music books so you can open the book, load the BiaB file and play along if you don't know the melody. They are now instant download, but I still call them disks because I don't know what else to call them.Ĭhord progressions of popular and unpopular songs, appropriate style suggested for each song, and with no melody or lyrics. I call them Fake Disks because the used to come on floppy disks. There still are Fake Books but they are not by PG Music, instead they are by Norton Music.
