If you can train yourself to read chord symbols, the Standards Real

Can you or anyone else give helpful advice with respect to the Bb,
C, and Eb editions? Surely they don't actually put every song in
the same key. Is it perhaps that everything in the Eb edition is a
minor third higher and everything in the Bb edition is a major
second lower, with the C version being somewhere in the middle?
You want the C edition. The Bb edition is for instruments in Bb to
play along, and the same for the Eb book. That covers all the saxes,
clarinets, trumpet, etc.
