As an older American, I love the music of George and Ira Gershwin. As former military, I also enjoy jazz bands like The Airmen of Note for the U.S. Air Force, the Jazz Ambassadors for the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Navy Commodores, just to name a couple.

So, listening to HRM Royal Marines playing American Jazz is a great honor. This band knows its stuff, and did an amazing job performing, and I want to thank you (even if it is a year later!) Great job and I'll be listening to you to see what else you've got.

I miss playing this when I used to be with dudley performing arts youth band. As per usual amazing performance and such a smooth sax solo

[kevindrake]

I absolutely love all this old school jazz and it's the type of music my father used to play when he was in a officers and wives evenings for a little of extra money

[Adolin.Kholin.]

Amazing performance as usually. I would like to hear black heart from this band.

[alastairorr]

Excellent performance. Real rhythmic drive throughout. No disrespect intended in any way, but is a conductor really necessary to direct this group? I didn't see a single player look at him.

This sounds like the Jeff Tyzik arrangement for Doc Severinsen!!!
