American Patrol

American Patrol

$80

American Patrol hit #15 on the Billboard charts in 1942 and was one of Glenn Miller’s last hits before joining the military and powered by a creative Jerry Gray arrangement it still holds up today. Mostly full of tight ensemble playing and only a single 16-bar solo, American Patrol is a staple of every big band book. Saxes are configured as AATTB to CATTA.
