Does anyone know from what source you can get reliable jazz charts these days? I’m hoping something has come along over the years to replace the inadequate traditional sources.TIA. Charlie

You mean lead sheets, or arrangements?

If you mean lead sheets there's nothing inadequate about all the 8 or 9
Sher Publications "New Real Book" volumes, of which there are somewhere
around ten.

With the caveat that those may be tied to specific performances rather
than being the original changes. But more accurate than the Real Book
5th Ed in any case! The Hal Leonard Real Books seem to be better than
the old Berklee ones.

Also, Ralph Patt's "Vanilla Book" is still online courtesy of his
family for changes (no melodies).
