Cleveland Rocks

Trumpet feature with optional Percussion. The history of rock and roll can be traced back as far as the musical influence of the first African slaves to arrive in North America, but the term was not used until 1951, when Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed coined the name from the song "My Baby Rocks Me with a Steady Roll" and launched a radio programme called Moondog Rock'n'Roll Party. The style borrows heavily from rhythm and blues and early rocks stars such as Ike Turner, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley had a huge influence through the newly-invented juke box and liberated the youth of the day by giving them a music of their own. Rockin? Trumpets gives your brass ensemble the chance to revisit the rock and roll years by featuring the trumpet section.

Used as the theme song for the popular Drew Carey Show this vintage rocker is high energy from beginning to end. Carefully scored for beginning bands by Paul Murtha.
