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 accordion performance by Filip Erakovic, a specialist for classical and contemporary accordion music and docent at the University of Wuppertal, Germany.
? a minus-one mix for you to play-along.
This edition is also suitable for accordion players.

Bellowspeak- accordion basics piece by piece is a 16-movement suite for solo accordion designed for children and young musicians. Progressing in technical difficulty, it presents and charts one possible pathway to teaching the accordion; in the concluding movement, the range of playing techniques and expression used is much broader than at the beginning. Indeed, the piece begins with an extremely limited toolkit including only four pitches. Bellowspeak is intended to introduce young musicians to the ways and means of contemporary music in a natural way, as part of day-to-day music-making.
