Program:
0:40 “That’s a Plenty”
by Lew Pollack; arr. Jack Gale
Originally a ragtime piano composition by Lew Pollack, "That’s a Plenty" is more often performed as an instrumental and has become a part of the Dixieland jazz repertoire.
Soloists: SFC Luke Brimhall and SSG Aaron Eckert

4:16 “I’m Beginning To See The Light”
by Duke Ellington; arr. Robert Elkjer
This swing tune is our salute to Washington DC’s own, Duke Ellington.

8:37 “Round Midnight”
by Thelonious Monk; arr. Slide Hampton
Perhaps Monk’s most famous jazz composition, this ballad features Staff Sgt. Jake Kraft on the bass trombone.

13:41 “Sanibel Sojourn”
by John Welch
The catchy bossa tune is contrasted by a salsa interlude which features the whole section.
Soloists: SFC Victor Barranco and SSG Aaron Eckert

by Edmund Gruber; arr. Robert Elkjer
Originally titled The Caissons go Rolling Along, the U.S. Army adopted this tune as its official song on Veterans Day of 1953.
