I have been a BIAB user for several years. My friends and I have recently created a 10-person group that wants to play jazz standards. On the Hall Leonard website you can buy sheet music for individual songs (link attached https://www.halleonard.com/product/7013120/the-girl-from-ipanema?lid=2&promotion=1179promotion=1179& ). I have a question where we can get or buy jazz standards for combo but saved in BIAB format so that there are notes for individual instruments and the sound track? Thanks in advance for the hint. The question is whether PG music could not cooperate with Hall Leonard, for example, so that something like that could be bought from them or you.

Dan, are the jazz standards you mentioned only for a 5 piece band? Maybe I'm wrong but I got the impression that Piotr wanted BiaB songs that contained all of the parts for his 10 piece band so he could hear and print each track.
If I'm wrong Piotr I have a number of jazz standards in BiaB form but only for a 5 piece combo.

No, I don't suspect any of these collections of historical FakeBook Jazz Standards which I am sure you and I both have a boat load of, would lay our 10 tracks. But for a newbee it would be a start.

You guys are missing the OP's point which is copywritten melodies. PG Music or any other commercial company cannot include the melodies or lyrics to songs without getting permission (meaning paying) the rights owner. And another big misconception is the rights owner is the original writer of the song. Not true, most have been bought out by the big publishers like Sony or Universal. Hal Leonard has permission which is why you have to pay for those books.
Biab only gives you backing tracks by law. It would cost an absolute fortune to include the melodies and/or lyrics to thousands of jazz Real Book songs.

… which is copywritten melodies. Please, the word is copyrighted. It refers to protecting one's rights in regards to copies of intellectual property. "copywritten" is used in advertising, news, reporting etc. It's copy that has been written. And, yes, it is a big deal to some people. PG Music or any other commercial company cannot include the melodies or lyrics to songs without getting permission (meaning paying) the rights owner. Correct. Each title requires a license from the publisher which would be very expensive if PG Music were to pay the statutory rates. And another big misconception is the rights owner is the original writer of the song. Not true, most have been bought out by the big publishers like Sony or Universal. Hal Leonard has permission which is why you have to pay for those books. The publisher is any one or entity who has the rights to make works available to the public (the root of publish). Sub-publishing deals are the norm these days, not the "most" situation you describe. End to end deals and exclusive catalog deals are extremely rare despite the huge amount of publicity they've received over the last 20 years when a valuable catalog changes hands as The Beach Boys's did yesterday. Hal Leonard is the largest publisher of sheet music in the world but they rarely control other rights to the works they print. I thought that, when I retired from the copyright protection industry, I would no longer be dealing with intellectual property rights. Ha! I'm busier than ever but dealing with music publishers nowadays.

learnjazzstandards.com is an individual that sells his lessons on how to learn and play and improvise over jazz standards. He sells BIAB as well.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

On my blog you can pick up some mgu files of standards for free. Thing is, the melody has been written out, but not in the real book way. It wouldn’t make a perfect print, the melody is often adapted to how a certain artist plays it on one of my faborite albums. It’s just for playing and practicing. A lot of modern songs too, Scofield, Metheny, Jarrett, Kenny Wheeler. https://www.jazzstylezz.com/blogThe Norton stuff is the best there is, with all the right changes. Sadly, no melody. I just hope Sher music or any other publisher would hook up with Bob Norton to produce sets of biab songs and realbooks. With the melody in the notation window.
Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums. Check out these great contemporary Jazz Styles: www.jazzstylezz.com
