About This Recording
Building on a relationship that began in 2001 with The Legacy of Sammy Nestico, the Jazz Ambassadors and Sammy Nestico are proud to present this milestone in the Perspectives educational series, Sammy Nestico: The Soldier Sessions.
Sammy Nestico’s name is synonymous with big band literature. Widely recognized as the first jazz educator to provide professional quality big band music at the middle school, high school, and college levels, he served as Chief Arranger for the “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band, Chief Arranger for The United States Air Force Band Airmen of Note, and Arranger for the Count Basie Orchestra.
Sammy Nestico’s dedication to big band writing has been a lifelong endeavor that continues well into his nineties. His output of new music is still going strong, and the history of the big band itself can be heard throughout this recording. Some of the selections are older, reworked by Nestico for this project, and some were composed a few days before the recording session.
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 our website , 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.
