Lets write a fake book together

Joli Gadjo

I like your layout and the way it looks. What is it ? Is it Finale or is it Sibelius ?

Does anyone really uses that chart for Anniversary Song ?
It's the exact same I saw from Matt Mitchell's Fakebook - that everybody has now...
I am sure that's very accurate for the original tune, but is this the "gypsy way" ?
Don't you guys use something like the one below :

Passacaglia

Pretty much what I have, with the exception of an F7 in place of the B7 on B'.

Sibelius..

Does anyone has a 10 line template in Finale? For some reasons I can't over more than 9 lines...

Hi Joli!

Sorry it's taken me this long to realize you were referring to the sample page I put up from my book. Thanks for the input and SORRY it took so long to respond!

I have been using whatever info I can get from whoever to create the book. I have now added your chords in the "Gypsy Way." As a violinist, I am not the expert on Django chord voicings, but am learning! As stated I'm into making this book the most accurate possible. It will continually evolve as we write this fakebook together! As to form - I feel the B part should stand alone. It builds toward an ending to me, and to repeat it seems redundant. Django recorded it twice, once with a repeated "B" and once without. I left it without repeat, but mention the fact that it has been done both ways in the accompanying notes.

Let me know what you think about the updated version! Check it out again at http://www.musickit.com/performerkit/djazzdjamtrans
