TheU.S.ArmyBluesThe U.S. Army Blues was officially formed in 1972 but has its roots back in 1942 as the Army Dance Band entertaining soldiers and civilians in battle zones during WWII. With appearances at jazz festivals from Monterey to Montreux, and jazz clubs from Birdland to Blues Alley, it has evolved into the leading jazz ensemble of the U.S. Army, and one of the few remaining full-time big bands in America today.
This release, recorded live at historic Blues Alley in Washington, DC on January 20, 2010, features sixteen different soloists and seven composers from the eighteen-piece band. It also pays tribute to the legacy of Washington, DC native, Duke Ellington. Enjoy and keep jazz–America’s only indigenous art form–alive!
the army blues consist of the world’s most incredible musicians...the cohesiveness and groove of the band
never cease to amaze me. terell stafford international trumpet soloist and recording artist
one of the most versatile, swinging, musical, and enjoyable big bands on the scene today. john clayton grammy-winning bassist, co-leader, clayton-hamilton jazz orchestra
the band has a wonderful grasp of all styles, swings its tail off, and is made up of some of the nicest folks in jazz. bravo blues. bob curnow composer/arranger/owner of sierra music publications

TheU.S.ArmyBluesThe U.S. Army Blues was officially formed in 1972 but has its roots back in 1942 as the Army Dance Band entertaining soldiers and civilians in battle zones during WWII. With appearances at jazz festivals from Monterey to Montreux, and jazz clubs from Birdland to Blues Alley, it has evolved into the leading jazz ensemble of the U.S. Army, and one of the few remaining full-time big bands in America today.
This release, recorded live at historic Blues Alley in Washington, DC on January 20, 2010, features sixteen different soloists and seven composers from the eighteen-piece band. It also pays tribute to the legacy of Washington, DC native, Duke Ellington. Enjoy and keep jazz–America’s only indigenous art form–alive!
the army blues consist of the world’s most incredible musicians...the cohesiveness and groove of the band
never cease to amaze me. terell stafford international trumpet soloist and recording artist
one of the most versatile, swinging, musical, and enjoyable big bands on the scene today. john clayton grammy-winning bassist, co-leader, clayton-hamilton jazz orchestra
the band has a wonderful grasp of all styles, swings its tail off, and is made up of some of the nicest folks in jazz. bravo blues. bob curnow composer/arranger/owner of sierra music publications
