Do you want:

  1. The Repertoire: It spans his golden phase—from Clube da Esquina to classics like Travessia, Canção do Sal, Maria Maria, Cais, Ponta de Areia, and San Vicente. It includes deep cuts that never appear in other fake books.
  2. The Arrangements: Chediak didn’t just transcribe melodies. He captured the complex, often dissonant, and stunningly beautiful harmonic language of Milton’s piano and guitar voicings. The chord charts use Brazilian notation (e.g., D7(9/13), C7M(#11)) that forces you to think like a harmonizer, not just a strummer.
  3. The Transcripts: Many songs feature multiple versions – e.g., the guitar part from the original recording and a piano reduction. The solos are transcribed note-for-note (Wagner Tiso’s keyboard solos, Toninho Horta’s guitar phrases).

Recommendation for Musicians: If you are looking for the PDF, ensure you are finding the Lumiar Editora edition. There are "fake books" that compile Milton's songs, but they often lack the specific fingerpicking and piano voicings that the Chediak version captures with such brilliance.

Historical Context: The book includes informal biographies, historical photos, and testimonials from Milton's friends and musical partners.
