Alfred Music Vahid Matejkos Shanty Play-Alongs für Posaune

Shanties are once again enjoying great popularity. Especially the reissue of "The Wellerman" by Nathan Evans has contributed to this. The sea shanties, which were used for work purposes as well as entertainment, radiate a special energy, conveying to listeners the deprived and yearning times at sea and providing a good insight into the work and life of seafarers.

With Shanty Play-Alongs, Vahid Matejkos, musician and producer, presents a music book with instrumental backing tracks for trombone. The trombone definitely lends itself as a melody-leading instrument in shanty. Its sound has an assertive character that lends a high degree of authenticity to sea shanties in particular. At the same time, the pieces arranged here have the most diverse echoes, which make the edition a versatile work. Through elements of rock, Latin, funk, Big Band to orchestral and Caribbean influences, each song has its own unique charm. The titles are each available as a full version as well as a half-playback, all recorded by professional musicians.
