The Ultimate Jazz Fake Book collection

About Hal Leonard Fake BooksA "fake book" contains songs written in a concise format that includes only the melody and chords, letting you interpret the song's performance as you feel is appropriate. This is great for quickly learning songs by yourself or with an ensemble.
Each song in a fake book only has a single melody actually written out in notes, which is usually the vocal or lead melody. This melody will have the lyrics written beneath the notes, with each word aligned to its corresponding note. Above the notes of the melody will appear the names of the appropriate chords to play - for example, a "C minor" chord would be written as "Cmin" or Cm", rather than writing out all of the notes in those chords as they appeared in the original version of the song.
This format is very compact, which is why you will often see fakebooks containing 500 or more songs.

Keith Jarrett Carnegie Hall Concert Reviewed

From the following review:

http://www.cfrb.com/news/55/entertainment-news/426937/keith-jarrett-crafts-musical-self-portrait-on-carnegie-hall-solo-cd

 

"At Carnegie Hall when I walked out on stage, there was no doubt in my mind that these people were ready for whatever happened and that's not true of a lot of places I play," the 61-year-old jazz pianist said. "Carnegie Hall couldn't have happened without the audience. It wasn't like me tossing things out to them and them catching them. It was both directions all the time. . . . I wasn't prepared for that kind of interplay ever happening between an audience and the stage. I've had great audiences but this was almost a small miracle. I've only felt this twice, once was in Koln and once was in New York."

Jarrett's audiences have always helped shape his improvised solo concerts, and playing in his own country before 3,000 enthusiastic fans pushed him to create what turned into a musical autobiography, "a wide-angle look at what I do when I play alone."

 

Seems to coincide with the review I posted on Amazon here re. the role of the audience at this concert:
