Three-Two Music Publishing

Steve has created an invaluable tool that transforms our music into standard repertoire for the classroom and the stage. 3-2 Music is the definitive source procuring arrangements for professionals and schools for high-quality Latin jazz arrangements. It has helped expand the visibility and popularity of the music immensely. The preservation of Latin jazz has been my passion and career. 3-2 Music Publishing has made it possible to catalog my written music for future generations to play as either a student or professional musician.

In 1982 Steve established the first high school Latin jazz ensemble in the country at Roosevelt High School in Fresno, California. He quickly found that the resources for authentic Latin jazz arrangements for classroom use were nonexistent. To establish the class musical library he first transcribed all of the material himself. A few years later he had the idea of asking the composers from his favorite CDs to provide transcriptions of the recordings.
