With a tradition going back to it's

formation in 1941, The United States Air

Force Band has long been the Air Force's

premier musical organization, inspiring

audiences in America and all over the

world.

Many of the works on this album

demonstrate the history and importance

of flying, from Philip Wilby's vision of a

bygone era in Dawn Flight, Bruce Yurko's

Red Tail Skirmish dedicated to the

heroism of Tuskegee Airmen in WWII,

and the futuristic excitement of Asimov's

Aviary by Joel Puckett.

The spectacular virtuosity of The

United States Air Force Band can also

be heard in Time Travels by the band's

chief arranger, Senior Master Sgt.

Robert Thurston, and in the superb

arrangement of three movements from

Holst's The Planets.
