Orbert Davis' Chicago Jazz Philharmonic (CJP), in partnership with Boeing and USO of Illinois, is proud to be part of a momentous tribute saluting our veterans and military members. CJP presents an opportunity for high school and college bands to honor our troops by performing The first two movements from the “Home and Away Suite,” composed by Emmy Award winning composer and CJP Artistic Director, Orbert Davis. "Fanfare for Cloud Gate" was commissioned by the City of Chicago and Millennium Park Chicago for the 2005 dedication of the "Cloud Gate" sculpture by Anish Kapoor.

The music is scored for brass and drums and can be performed in many settings; on the field, in the stadium or on the concert stage. “Our Salute” will allow every member of your ensemble and audience to feel pride for those who serve, while “The Star Spangled Banner" will stir emotions for our country.

Proceeds from the sale of the “Our Salute” and “The Star Spangled Banner" scores will benefit the USO of Illinois, reaching veterans, active military and their families.
