Fun Trip Down Memory Lane!
This Big Band Tribute medley by John Wasson is such a joy to play! As an adult learner in a community band, the Grade 3 level is perfectly achievable and so rewarding. It's wonderful to play recognizable hits like 'Satin Doll' and 'A String of Pearls' from legendary artists like Glenn Miller and Duke Ellington. It truly captures that classic big band sound. So much fun!
