Prolific composer, brewed with an unerring feel, swing, staggering range
Two years after Slumdog Millionaire won eight Oscars, interest in all things Indian is still going strong. Rahman’s Slumdog... soundtrack, which earned him two Academy Awards and two Grammys, has made him a recognisable name in America.
It also helps that Rahman is a prolific composer who has a staggering range. Americans find his music “easy listening” as it is brewed with an unerring feel for melody, swing and soul.
Ahead of his concert, Rahman who has been writing musical scores for Bollywood since the 1990s credited the film industry for his versatility.
Please explain to me the emboldened parts.
Though I guess "prolific composer" means "he composed large amount of songs" and "brewed" means "filled with".

"Swing" is opposed to "boogie-woogie"/eight-to-the-bar in the nature of the rhythmic pulses. When a measure is divided into eight pulses, "swing" is performed with the odd-numbered pulses receiving twice as much time as the even-numbered ones. In boogie-woogie they're all equal.
Most rock-n-roll and current pop does not swing.
Singers like Sinatra performed mostly in the swing style.
