The Navy’s premier jazz ensemble, the “Commodores,” presents the finest in America’s truly original music. A specialty unit of the United States Navy Band in Washington, DC, the group features 18 of the Navy’s top jazz and “big band” musicians. Under the leadership of Senior Chief Musician Philip M. Burlin, the Commodores combine the best of jazz and popular music.
Their performances are high-energy affairs that not only pay tribute to the legendary big bands of yesterday, but also feature original compositions by members of the group. In 2008, the Commodores released their latest compact disc, Directions. The Commodores continue to preserve the great heritage of jazz while also being an innovative force for the future.
