These well-loved tunes have been around for a long time. Perhaps the oldest is Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen, a Negro spiritual that may have been written by slaves. Others come from the latter half of the 19th century and from the turn-of-the-century era that produced the precursors of jazz. The unifying factor in selecting these particular tunes, apart from the fact that every American seems to know them, is that they have been constantly recreated by jazz performers, from the birth of jazz to the present day. There is an immediate link from the improvisor to the mood, structure, or chord structure (sometimes all three!) of these tunes that allows for a free-flowing personal variation on these timeless themes. Titles: Down By The Riverside * Little Brown Jug * Bill Bailey * Peg O' My Heart * A Tisket, A Tasket * Take Me Out To The Ballgame * Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen * Frankie & Johnny.

It is not only the great success of Nathan Evans' re-release of The Wellerman on social media that is responsible for the great popularity of sea shanties and naval songs. Such songs create a unique mood, a touch of adventure and wanderlust for the big, wide world. Hardly anyone can elude it and with Vahid Matejko's Sea Shanty Play-Alongs there are now the most beautiful sea shanties and naval songs skillfully arranged as an instrumental play-along series for recorder, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet (opt. baritone T.C.), trombone (opt. baritone B.C.), violin, and accordion (piano).The varied arrangements have a wide stylistic range and offer echoes from rock, Latin, funk, big band to orchestral and Caribbean influences. Thus, each song has its own musical and instrumental appeal, to which the parts and/or solos specially composed by arranger Vahid Matejko also contribute. The original polyphonic choral vocals are replaced by polyphonic instrumental backings.Each of the ten titles was recorded live by excellent professional musicians and is available in two different versions: ? a demo-track which features a live saxophone performance by one of the most sought-after studio and live soloists in the German music scene, two-time Grammy-award winner and former lead saxophone, flute and clarinet player for the WDR-broadcast big band Heiner Wiberny and? a minus-one mix for you to play-along.
