The Real Book (sixth edition) contains many of the standards of Jazz Music...

Mingus, Coltrane, Wes, The Duke...They're all there

You will need to blend your musical knowledge, with your geosenses to locate this cache...

Use 'The Knowledge" to observe images of the songs below, they are derived from the Real Book 6th edition in Treble clef
