Notes & Reviews:

This album is a musical journey that plots a course from Rome to the North Atlantic, from Barcelona to the New World. Recorded by the United States Navy Band, Ports of Call has a little something for everyone- classic overtures, fresh new compositions and a new setting of several popular chanteys. This recording also highlights the incredible talent and versatility of the Navy Band men and women. Tracks include: Edward Gregson's "Celebration," "Donna Dianna Overture," "Songs of Sailor and Sea Medley," "Psalm for Band," "Nautical Variations," "Bum's Rush," "The New Post Horn Galop," "Dance of the New World," and "Pines of the Appain Way."
