I own Arthur's book which is great but any suggestions on how to get the sheet music on many of these classic pieces? e.g. Right now, I cannot find the sheet music to Avery Parish's After Hours.
Any good books that have a good collection of blues pieces to add to the repertoire?
Thanks Christy for the (many) helpful links. :-)

Thanks Arthur. The hard answer is we should transcribe it by ear. That is my last option when impossible other ways.
If you do put together some sheet music, I suggest posting it on MusicNotes.com as the official for your rendition. It would be another way the community could support you (by buying your sheets).
Thank you both for writing. I am certainly not the authority on sheet music (because I myself do not use it) but I am hoping some others may chime in now that the forum is working again.
In general, try to find older transcriptions, like from the 1930s or 1940s. I would tend to trust those more because they were created during a time when boogie was the pop music, and many more people were buying sheet music.
For After Hours, it's interesting that you ask because so many people have been asking recently that I think I am going to make some tutorials about it. There is a good possibility that there will be some sheet music as well.
Sorry I can't be of more help in this department.
And for me to add a specific question, where would I get the most authoritative sheet music version of Boogie Woogie Stomp?
