Upcoming Projects for 2026

At Sher Music, 2026 got off to a great start with the release of Tony Corman's The Real Intros and Endings Book and Chuck Israels' new revised edition of Exploring Jazz Arranging. During the rest of 2026, and into early next year, we plan on releasing the following books:

1. Susan Muscarella's Jazz Piano method book. Susan was the founder and head of The Jazz School in Berkeley, and a longtime piano teacher with some famous students. Her new book is excellent and has already been endorsed by Russ Ferrante, among others!

2. Bob Sinicrope plans on releasing several more of his acclaimed "Walking Bass Line Construction" books this year - the next one being Autumn Leaves. Great news for band directors, teachers, and beginning bassists alike.

3. The Definitive Chord-Melody Book by Italian guitarist David Brilliante (and it is Brilliant!)

4. Linear Funk Drumming by the original funk drumming author, Jim Payne!

5. An Approach to Comping for Guitar by Jeb Patton and guitarist Steve Knight. Jeb's books have been a real gift and eye-opener for pianists, and now guitarist Steve Knight is creating a book with the same material, specifically for guitar players. A wonderful and much-needed addition, and very well-written.

6. Elio Villafranca's Cubano! will be published later this year. Elio is a great Cuban pianist and has written a magnificent book on all aspects of Cuban piano playing.
