Join us for an afternoon of music!

The U.S. Army Blues Combo is here to play a tribute to Kenny Dorham, featuring SSG Noah Hocker on Trumpet. Kenny Dorham (1924-1972) was composer and trumpeter. He was a talented bop-oriented player and an excellent composer who played in bands and penned the timeless jazz standard “Blue Bossa.”

About The U.S. Army Blues

The U.S. Army Blues, part of the United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” is the premier jazz ensemble of the US Army. After informal beginnings in 1970, this 19-piece ensemble became an official element of the Army Band in 1972. The Army Blues strive to fulfill their mission through public concerts, educational outreach, and the preservation of the tradition of America’s unique art form: jazz.
