The Airmen of Note is the premier jazz ensemble of the United States Air Force. They will be performing a FREE concert at the Community Arts Center on May 2. Stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, DC, the Airmen of Note is one of six musical ensembles that form the Air Force Band. Created in 1950 to continue the tradition of Major Glenn Miller’s Army Air Forces dance band, the current band consists of 18 active-duty musicians, including one vocalist. Through the years, the Airmen of Note has presented its own brand of big band jazz as well as more contemporary forms of jazz to audiences via annual tours across the United States, deployments around the world, and local performances throughout metropolitan Washington D.C.
