message: Someone created an article titled Real Book Errata that seems to have some useful information, but I think it should be part of this article. Opinions? Aguerriero (talk) 19:15, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The pertinent errors and differences between volumes should probably be distilled and merged into the main article (by someone who owns both versions, which I don't). Cribcage 23:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, so the merger has been debated for several, SEVERAL months now.  What is the verdict?  Are we going to merge or not?  I also agree with the fact that it seems to sound like an advertisement.  Sogospelman 10:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I won't dispute the Real Book's ubiquity, but knowing of the various errors therein (cf. Real Book Errata) I think "indispensable" is laying it on a bit thick.  I might feel differently if it had been worded as "Musicians such as ABC and XYZ consider it an indispensable resource..." followed by citations to that effect. Otherwise, one might just as easily rewrite the sentence in question to read "Listening to recordings and transcribing them has become an indispensable resource." Or, "knowing dozens of tunes without having to consult the Real Book is an indispensable resource." -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 22:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: P.S. I bring this up because of an off-Wiki comment I read: "If Wikipedia says the Real Book is the shit, it's just another reason not to trust Wikipedia..." -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 22:54, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been no citation for "indispensable", so it has been removed. Apparently Charlie Parker played jazz before Real Book piracy/compilation, so the indispensability claim is false.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 11:35, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

text: Various international Switzerland-based jazz musicians have told me, that jazz musicians who have never seen each other can come together and play witout much or even any rehearsal, because it is expected of them that professionals can play the contents of the Real Book. So with that background info I'd say: you can call yourself a jazz musician, but if you can't play the Real Book contents, you are missing something that is usually expected of professional jazz musicians. So I indeed would call the Real Book indispensable for jazz musicians. Obviously a collection of jazz tunes is not so relevant to musicians of other genres. --87.239.205.121 (talk) 17:24, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

message: I don't think the WP:LINKFARM should be in the article. Another editor disagrees. Discuss. --jpgordon::==( o ) 07:20, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right. There's already been some related discussion at Talk:Jazz standard#External links, where the consensus seemed to be to remove them. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:26, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
