Swinging Folksongs

This collection presents well-known folk songs

with a twist: the tunes, newly arranged for melodic instrument and piano, are slightly jazzy and mixed with pop music elements

making traditional songs sound fresh and interesting again! All pieces are very melodic in character and work well even without piano accompaniment, which makes them particularly suitable for use in the classroom.The piano accompaniment is available on CD as a PDF file and can be printed in professional quality. The CD also contains backing tracks for each piece

which lends a live feeling in performance! This collection is perfect for all lovers of the 'crossover' between folk, jazz and pop

by Schott's best-selling author Dirko Juchem who has been active as a saxophonist, saxophone teacher and specialist author nationally and internationally for many years.
