Chuck Sher started as a jazz musician in 1970 and founded Sher Music Co. in 1979 with “The Improvisor’s Bass Method.” This book received acclaim and paved the way for the ’80s “The New Real Book,” a legitimate alternative to the earlier illegal version. Sher’s company later published hits like “The Jazz Piano Book” and “The Jazz Theory Book” by Mark Levine. With over 100 books in jazz and Latin music, and endorsements from artists like Chick Corea and Esperanza Spalding, Sher Music Co. stands as a top small music publisher. Sher’s commitment to quality is rooted in his musician background, aiming to produce accurate and high-quality books.
