I adore the story of the Real Book. An originally illegal book created by two students to help musicians learn the “standards”. The truly important pieces of music in the jazz scene.
After it’s creation, this book gained incredible momentum even though it was sold out of the boots of cars and such because none of the music was licenced.
Music is so important to humans. We seem to have always loved it, and presumably always will.
If you want to lean more about the Real Book, I highly recommend listening to this 99% Invisible podcast about it.
