H The Star Spangled Banner—arr. Paul Clark.
Although this piece is not usually associated with
jazz bands, this arrangement works so well it
can appropriately be included in any jazz concert.
It's also invaluable to have in the files for those
"emergency" situations where a jazz group is called
upon to perform our National Anthem. It includes
just the right elements to give it a jazz flavor, yet
maintains the dignity and reverence of the original.
While it is harmonically jazzy, it is rhythmically
traditional and can serve as accompaniment for
audience singing. It is also playable with reduced
instrumentation. If your jazz ensemble plays for
basketball games, this is perfect. A wise investment
for all jazz programs! Highly recommended!
