Streamwood, IL, November 25, 2013 - This was the question composer Michael Droste wanted to answer. Through his Play The Blues series at PlayTheBlues.com Droste wanted to teach everyone playing a musical instrument how to play the blues. He released 16 different recordings to teach everyone, on every instrument, the blues changes, and give the pros and beginners many choruses to learn how to solo in the blues.
"For
this particular release," he stated, "why not combine disco and the
blues together and see how it sounds?" Pleased with the results, the
recordings are now available for everyone at every online music
retailer.
As fan of the Chicago blues scene, he continues to create recordings that combines the blues with jazz, hip hop, techno, and rock. "One should not be limited to one style of music with the blues," he said. "The blues changes slot well into other genres," Droste stated.
As the Trumpet is his main instrument, he could understand the frustration of trying to find some blues recordings for soloing in a key for his instrument. "I wanted the Oboe, Clarinet, Trombone, Piano, Alto Tenor and Soprano Sax players each to have their own dedicated recordings," he stated. "The only solution was to release 16 different recordings, one for each instrument, and provide all levels of musicians with many different musical keys and styles," Droste said. That goal is still being realized with hundreds of recordings released at PlayTheBlues.com
Not wanting to short change any instrument the series is made accessible to all with versions for the guitar, tuba, wood recorders, and drum set. Each recording also includes a mini blues tutorial at the end of the blues choruses. There are instructions at PlayTheBlues.com of some 'magic notes' that will sound good with each recording, and their specific instrument and key.
