Since November 2008 there is the Real Book by Hal Leonard Play-Along with a number of CDs. Brilliant idea, The Real Book in this form or in a similar issue you anyway. In the various editions are 3 CDs with 60 play-alongs. The recordings are kept in the usual good quality and performed very well.

For some time, the four play-along books available at Amazon: The Real Book Play-Along, Volume 1 AD The Real Book Play-Along, Volume 1 EK The Real Book Play-Along, Volume 1 LR The Real Book Play-Along, Volume 1 Bed And here is the link to the right book: The Real Book: B-Flat (Hal Leonard) for tenor saxophone and E Flat (Real Books (Hal Leonard)) for alto saxophone. Is a good alternative to the usual play-alongs and much cheaper! The Play-alongs are also ideal to play and improvisation to practice solo. The large selection of pieces is certainly something for everyone.
