New - 3-Horn Arrangements for "The Real Easy Book, Vol.2"!

When we turned The Real Easy Book, Vol.1 into a three-horn version two years ago, band directors were thrilled by the possibilities that the expanded arrangements opened up for their ensembles. The three-horn version contains two extra harmony parts to be played during the melodies, as well as three background parts behind soloists and 'shout choruses' before the out heads.
So we are now offering the same sort of three-horn arrangements for eight selected tunes in The Real Easy Book, Vol.2.

Available on our website only (http://shermusic.com), they are being offered as a single digital package consisting of:

• Two extra complete horn parts for all eight songs.
• For the melody player, we have included background parts for use behind soloists and also 'shout chorus' parts for each tune. (The melodies themselves are not included here, but remain the same as in the printed book.)
• Each of these horn parts are given in C, Bb, Eb and bass clef versions.
• All this at a minimal cost of $24, which comes out to $3 per song.

Songs included in this upgrade are:

1. “Barbara” by Horace Silver
2. “Black Orchid” by Cal Tjader
3. “Fantasy in D” by Cedar Walton
4. “Jeannine” by Duke Pearson
5. “Jubilation” by Junior Mance
6. “Peace” by Horace Silver
7. “Sky Dive” by Freddie Hubbard
8. “Whisper Not” by Benny Golson 

New Sher Music books for 2017!

Folks - We have three (actually 5) new books just released today. More information on all of them is available at http://shermusic.com/new-books.php. Hope you find one or more of them intriguing to you and here's to a swinging 2017! - Chuck

1. "Reading, Writing & Rhythmetic" by Roberta Radley - A second Sher Music publication from the assistant chair of the Ear Training Dept. at Berklee College of Music. This one gives you a systematic way to develop the skills necessary to transcribe music off your favorite records and onto paper. The rewards will more than justify the time needed to absorb all the information here.
2. "Modern Etudes for Solo Trumpet" by Cameron Pearce - A set of challenging, but not ridiculously difficult, etudes written for the trumpet player needing something substantial to work on. The accompanying CD has the etudes performed by Dave Douglas, Terell Stafford, Ingrid Jenson, etc. Highly endorsed by Bobby Shew, Ray Vega, Randy Brecker, Chase Sanborn, etc. Cool stuff!
3. "Flamenco Improvisation - Vol.1 - 3" by Enrique Vargas - Here's a real masterpiece---a three-volume set of books detailing the the melodic and harmonic implications of the Western and Arabic scales used in Flamenco music today. Over 1200 pages filled with patterns, analysis, guitar fingerings and tab (although the books can be used by any instrument), and discussions of the "tricks" that make Flamenco such a unique form of music. Enjoy!
