NL Real Book contains compositions which are artistic and/or historically relevant to jazz music in the Netherlands. The selection is done by an outside editorial board. We try to provide a broad overview of trends and genres. Besides well-known and frequently played titles, we also include compositions, which in the opinion of the editors deserve more attention.
