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.

Of all of Gordon Jacob's major contributions to the British wind band repertoire, the William Byrd Suite (written in 1923) stands as his most-often programmed work. Though originally based on six movements from William Byrd's Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, this setting for developing band incorporates two contrasting movements including The Earle of Oxford's Marche and Wolsey's Wilde. Like Jacob's wind band work, the music is not a mere transcription from the original keyboard collection, but rather stylized with his own inventive musical spirit for modern concert band. A wealth of material here that opens doors to teachable moments as musical textures---dynamic contrasts, articulations, scoring options---are continually changing. Bravo! (2:33).
