Thanks so much to the Jazz Ambassadors for sharing this video!
"Sammy Nestico: The Soldier Sessions holds special historical significance: for the first time, Nestico has written compositions and arrangements specifically for the Jazz Ambassadors, with the intent of recording them and making the sheet music available to students and educators as part of the Perspectives educational series, free of charge. All of these arrangements are available for free at http://www.armyfieldband.com/perspect... , so the next generation of jazz musicians can enjoy professional quality big band music by one of the greatest arrangers in the history of jazz, Sammy Nestico, with reference recordings performed by America’s Big Band, the Jazz Ambassadors. This album was recorded in August 2015. "
