I'm sure there are others. Question: For Easy to Love, you don't want the Real Book changes. Do you have somebody else's changes in mind, or do you want to rewrite it?Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794955425850604278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-38922576075577377762010-09-07T11:31:03.107-07:002010-09-07T11:31:03.107-07:00If you found the article by Becker/Faulkner intere...If you found the article by Becker/Faulkner interesting, make sure you read another piece by them with the same title but a slightly different twist (http://home.earthlink.net/~hsbecker/articles/montreal.html).

For those of you who are interested in some social science, see Becker, Howard/Faulkner, Robert R. (2005): The Jazz Repertoire, in: Sociologie de l'art, nouvelle série, OPuS 8, pp. 15-24. You can also read that article on Howards website: http://home.earthlink.net/~hsbecker/articles/grenoble.html<br /><br />It would certainly be interesting to see more region-specific lists being posted!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-89862717049450460872010-09-06T22:56:50.217-07:002010-09-06T22:56:50.217-07:00Of course the list is a rough starting point.
