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!
