Our brand new recording is here! We pay homage to a few of our amazing arrangers throughout the The United States Air Force Band's 75 year history. We dug through our library and picked some great arrangements by Sammy Nestico, Gil Cray, Mike Crotty, and the recently retired Alan Baylock. Not only does this album represent the heritage of our ensemble but it features every current member. That artistry is on display with our opening track, 'This Is The Airmen of Note'! We hope you enjoy. For a FREE download: http://www.usafband.af.mil/…/cata…/theairmenofnote/index.asp
