Under the direction of Mas- ter Sgt. Jeremiah True, the Commanders band carries on the American musical tradition of great traveling big bands, yet offers a lot more than big band sound. This energetic group of highly trained professional airmen-musicians offers an en- tertaining show you won’t soon forget. You’re likely to hear the music of jazz legends Duke Ellington, Woody Herman and Count Basie as well as con- temporary big band leaders and composers such as Gordon Goodwin and Maria Schneider. And no concert would be com- plete without a tribute to the late Maj. Glenn Miller and his famous Army Air Corp band. Featuring outstanding soloists as well as a superb vocalist, the Commanders is an ensemble capable of delivering a power- ful musical performance. dinin g out D IR EC TO R Y 503.325.7414 bakedak.com #1 12th Street, Astoria, OR 503-325-7289 159 W.
