Gus Kahn and W. Donaldson, “Concerto for Cootie” by Duke Ellington, “Jumpin’ at
the Woodside” by Count Basie, “Take the A Train” by Billy Strayhorn, and
“Birdland” by Josef Zawinul.
The 56-member Community Band will perform six numbers and feature the
infamous trombone section in the opening “Lassus Trombones” by Henry Fillmore.
The finale is “Stars and Stripes Forever.”
