The compositions by the greatest Brazilian tango composer and pianist Ernesto Julio de Nazareth (1863 -1934) are strongly influenced by Brazilian folk music. He preferred light entertainment, and his dance music has remained extremely popular in his home country until today. Heitor Villa-Lobos called him 'the true embodiment of the Brazilian soul'. Nazareth composed primarily choros music which is very common in Brazil, but it was his 25 tangos (25 Tangos Brasileiros for piano, Schott ED 7561) that made him famous.Three of these tangos have now been arranged for chamber music ensemble by Siegfried Schwab: Atrevido, Garoto and Carioca. With the slow Garoto being framed by the faster tangos Atrevido and Carioca, they are ideal for being performed as a cycle. The lively and characteristic tango rhythms are a valuable addition to any chamber music repertoire.

Jazz Conception is an exciting way for players at all levels to learn the language of jazz! Each book and CD set features 21 solo etudes based on chord changes to standards and blues. See and hear how a well-known soloist phrases, articulates, and plays along with or without the soloist on the CD. Play along with one of today's finest, swinging New York rhythm sections: Mike LeDonne on piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums. Start out fairly easy, then get progressively more difficult. Use the etudes as a bridge to solos of the masters that are usually more complicated and involved. Learn melodies and lines that will give you a solid jazz vocabulary and musicality. Use the book and CD sets for private lessons, for self-study, or in any combination up to a full jazz ensemble, including flute and clarinet. If you are more advanced you may want to use the book to develop your sight reading abilities, for transcribing the etudes off the MP3 CD (then check against the book), or for just having fun playing along with a great jazz rhythm section. Use as an improvisation study, learning how to construct a swinging, logical solo---works especially well in combination with the Study Guide.
