It's the first podcast I ever heard of, when my friend first explained that word to me. Glad to see it's still around.

#5As an aside, fake books are a great way to get your feet wet learning how to extemporize while still having some guidance around the chord progression and melody.
If you have an iPad, there's an app called iReal Pro with loads of lead sheets that add in some accompaniment (drums, guitar, etc.) so you can "play along" as well.

iReal Pro is awesome. When playing music with new people (especially jazz), it feels like everyone has it, and you can quickly make sure you're playing the same charts.
It's also available on Android, and it's a one-time payment, no-subscription app. Easily one of the most valuable music purchases I've made.

it's also great being able to change tempo, style, key, etc. iReal Pro is used by every pro musician i know around town

#9The Real Book was pretty fundamental helping me learn jazz. I think a lot of jazz people look down on it (or those who need it), but I didn't really get deep enough to see that. There's a short video from Adam Neely that opened my eyes to that a bit.
