The Music Of Mark Sherman: Edition

After around 35 years touring the world professionally in the many areas of music as both a sideman, and a leader, I am very proud to finally publish some of my original compositions. It has been many years that people ask me about my different originals, as well as enquire about the availability of the lead sheets. Finally I have assembled them into a book format. The book begins chronologically from 2003- 2011. My last 6 CD's starting with the Motive Series, One Step Closer, Family First, Live At The Bird's Eye, Good Rhythms Good Vibes, and Live at Chorus jazz Club. You will surely notice how my harmonic language skills grow and change over the years. Feel free to explore the different ways they can be performed. Many of the tunes can be played in multiple styles, and you can just use the harmonic/rhythmic roadmap and melody your way.
