He goes onto say,
Professionalism in music demands a high degree of technical accomplishment through personal dedication but most importantly it demands that aesthetic quality-'Artistry', for this alone produces the life and emotion in music.
This is demontrated in the versatility and artistry of the musicians, arrangers and conductor that made this entertaining programme for your enjoyment.
The programme has been specially selected to include lively toe-tapping tunes, boogie, swing, Dixie, pop and funky road rock. From the opening of "Thoroughly Modern Millie", through Sherbet, ABBA, to "Crunchy Granola Suite" by Neil Diamond, the band communicates happiness, thrills, excitement and warmth.
This album typifies the young, vibrant and enthusiastic qualities that are throughout your Royal Australian Navy.
