Founded in 1988 as Sound Music Publications under the ownership of legendary director Frank DeMiero, Anchor Music Publications continues the mission to provide quality vocal jazz literature to choirs of all levels, from the most beginning to the most advanced.
Now based in San Diego and under the ownership of Matt & Jessica Falker, Anchor Music (anchormusic.com) features the compositions and arrangements of a diverse roster of dozens of artists. Anchor's modern web site includes digital downloads, embedded Soundcloud demos and YouTube videos, and convenient order processing through credit cards and purchase orders.
Anchor Music also maintains a comprehensive list of North American vocal jazz festivals, and continues to promote vocal jazz education and teacher training through its non-profit arm, the Vocal Jazz Academy (vocaljazzacademy.com).
Anchor Music provides dozens of reading packets to national, state and provincial reading sessions each year, and annually hosts the JEN New Music Reading Session for vocal jazz.
