Description:
A wonderful little big band approach to this patriotic song. Begins with a fully voiced chorale with trumpets in flugels. The remainder of the piece uses a 'contemporary' straight 8th note feel, featuring tenor sax on the melody as well as an improv chorus. A big, full ensemble finish makes this the perfect 'closer'. Lead trumpet to high D. Medium. Big band setting of this arrangement recorded by Ryan Haines Big Band on 'New Horizons' on Sea Breeze Jazz.
