Jazz Triptych takes its lyricism, harmonies, rhythm and intrumentation from an eclectic range of traditional forms and models. As such, one can recognize traits of Waller and Kern in The Things My Baby Does to Me, Gershwin and the Barber Shop in Under the Mood (sprinkled with just a touch of Borodin!) and the Big Band sounds of Miller, Goodman and Ellington in the final movement Couldn't Be Happier..

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 soprano recorder performance by the German specialist for pop/rock/jazz recorder Tobias Reisige and— a minus-one mix for you to play-along.

Up to now, the Dutch composer and performer Karel van Steenhoven, founder member of the renowned Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet, has mainly written demanding concert literature for the recorder. Now he has added an easy work for beginners to the recorder repertoire: 'A Musical Journey' was composed for two young recorder pupils and leads through different stylistic eras of European music history. Van Steenhoven was inspired by an old tune from Ancient Greek which moves from classical antiquity via the Middle Ages and Baroque era to jazz, swing and modern music in 14 short character pieces. In a playful and humorous way, children are thus introduced to the different styles of music. An excursion of educational value without missing out on fun and pleasure.

Moonlight Serenade was composed in 1939, by Glenn Miller in his typically American big-band style. It was an immediate success and it even became the signature tune of Glenn Miller. The catchy melody has since been used in various films and television series. It has been performed in many styles, from romantic to swinging. The Flanders Recorder Quartet likes to play this work with a low recorder consort: tenor, F bass, C bass, great bass (each instrument then plays an octave lower). This gives the work a slightly “close harmony†feel. Of course the more usual line-up also does the music justice.Moonlight Serenade is in 1939 gecomponeerd door Glenn Miller in zijn typisch Amerikaanse Bigbandstijl. De aanstekelijke melodie is in verschillende films en televisieseries gebruikt. In Frankrijk is de song populair gewordenonder de titel Dansez maintenant (1975) - in een uitvoering van Dave. Het Flanders Recorder Quartet speelt dii werk graag in laag blokfluitconsort: tenor, F-bas, C-bas, grootbas (elk instrument speelt dan een octaaf lager). Zo ontstaateen lichte close-harmonystijl. De muziek komt in de gebruikelijke bezetting natuurlijk ook uitstekend tot haar recht.Moonlight Serenade wurde 1939 von Glenn Miller in dem ihm eigenen, typisch amerikanischen Big-Band-Stil komponiert. Es wurde schon in vielen Stilen - von romantisch bis Swing - interpretiert. Das Flanders Recorder Quartet aus Belgien, dessen Mitglied und Arrangeur Paul van Loey diese Bearbeitung schrieb, spielt das Stück gerne mit einem tiefen Blockflötenensemble: Tenor-, F-Bass-, C-Bass- und Großbassblockflöte (wobei jedes Instrument eine Oktave tiefer spielt). Dies verleiht dem Werk eine Art Close Harmony“-Gefühl. Aber auch die übliche Besetzung wird der Musik vollkommen gerecht.Glenn Miller (1904-1944) fut l’un des plus grands chefs d’orchestre de swing américains de son temps. Le son mythique du prestigieux Glenn Miller Orchestra mêlant swing, jazz et improvisation est, aujourd’hui encore, célèbre dans le monde entier. Glenn Miller reste pour le public une véritable légende et ses airs les plus célèbres sont dans toutes les mémoires. En 1939, Glenn Miller composa Moonlight Serenade, une pièce dont l’idiome sonore est typique du style Big Band américain. Il présenta sa création pour la première fois sur la face B du disque Sunrise Serenade. Le succès fut immédiat. La mélodie fit l’objet de nombreuses reprises notamment au cinéma et latélévision. Nel 1939, Glenn Miller compose Moonlight Serenade, un brano dal linguaggio sonoro tipico dello stile big band americano. Esistono oggi numerose varianti stilistiche di questo brano. Il quartetto di flauto dolce delle Fiandre privilegia suonarlo con strumenti che si sviluppano nei registri gravi: flauti dolci tenori, basso in Fa, basso in Do e un grande basso. Il brano rivela così una struttura in close harmony. E' anche possibile eseguire il brano con un ensemble strutturato in maniera più tradizionale.
