This arrangement for full jazz ensemble is based on the version recorded by the Canadian Brass. No special instrumentation is required. This up-tempo production number features a Trumpet soloist in a Dixie style that alternates from even to swing 8ths. Sure to be a show stopper.

Commissioned by Prattville (Alabama) High School, this work in three movements pays tribute to that city's founder, Daniel Pratt, who was one of the leading industrialists of the early 1800s. Including movements entitled Fanfare for a New Era, Ode: The Southern Landscape, and Perpetual Motion: Machines, composer Johnnie Vinson uses creative scoring and intriguing sounds to recreate this period of American history in an impressive work for band.
