Met Master Swop is het 'swoppen' op niveau geblazen voor diegenen die meesterschap nastreven in verschillende swing- en popstijlen. Het is wederom een tegelijkertijd leerzaam en leuk boek vol afwisseling. Zoals alle SWOP-boeken:met een door een live-band ingespeelde cd en een afzonderlijk verkrijgbaar begeleidingsboek voor keyboard/piano, inclusief de akkoorden voor gitaar en basgitaar.

Die zehn abwechslungsreichen Stucke in Master Swop in verschiedenen Unterhaltungsmusik- Stilarten sind ebenso zum Uben wie auch zum Vortragen geeignet. Die Begleitungen sind von einer echten Band auf der beiliegenden CD eingespielt. Wer lieber mit einem Pianisten oder Keyboarder auftritt, kann die Begleitungen in einem separaten Buch erwerben.

L'unione delle parole Swing e Pop ha dato il nome a questo stile musicale dinamico e tonificante: lo Swop. Questa equazione funziona altrettanto bene nel jazz e nel blues, nel rock e nella musica pop. Per scoprire, migliorare e perfezionare questo nuovo genere musicale, la collezione Swop si articola in sette raccolte distinte. Da Very Easy Swop a Work Swop (per creare un vero gruppo), lasciatevi guidare dall'accompagnamento musicale affidato ad un gruppo di professionisti.

Ryan Nowlin is a new composer to the Standard of Excellence In Concert series of concert band compositions for young bands. Mr. Nowlin currently teaches instrumental music in the Breckville-Broadview Heights School District (Ohio) where he directs high school wind ensemble, marching band, and jazz ensemble. Ryan's Steadfast Overture uses lyrical melodies that are very accessible to the beginning musician. Written in overture form, this piece gives young students a chance to be expressive. The main theme in each occurrence is treated in a different fashion, keeping it fresh to the ear. Although the middle section is performed at the same tempo, the phrase structure and feel provide the distinct contrast necessary in an overture. Perfect for one of your first concerts or contest/festival performances!

Written for the wonderful saxophonist Chris Vadala, arranger Kris Berg has fashioned a contemporary sounding chart in D minor that moves from a loose, open swing to a straight-ahead swing groove. Terrific development of melodic material from the tune is paired with a recurring triplet figure that ties the chart together. Solo space for Tenor Saxophone and Trumpet (with Harmon mute) is included.
