Recorded by the United States Air Force Band of the West, A Century of Progress is an album that celebrates 100 years of powered flight. It features a beautiful rendition of "Amazing Grace," several spirited pieces such as "Short Ride in a Fast Machine" and "Salute to the Armed Services," and closes with an enthusiastic version of the theme from the original Star Wars trilogy. A talented group of musicians, the Band of the West plays with attention to detail and a celebratory spirit of the wonders of flight and how far we've come in a century.
