  • Enjoy the bombastic "Asphalt Cocktail" by John Mackey! This archival footage comes from our Summer 2019 tour of Texas-be sure to go to armyfieldband.com to see if we are performing near you! The composer writes:
    “Asphalt Cocktail” is a five-minute opener, designed to shout, from the opening measure, “We’re here.” With biting trombones, blaring trumpets, and percussion dominated by cross-rhythms and back beats, it aims to capture the grit and aggression that I associate with the time I lived in New York. Picture the scariest NYC taxi ride you can imagine, with the cab skidding around turns as trucks bear down from all sides. Serve on the rocks."

    My Army soldier son just got married this past holiday weekend. This number, Asphalt Cocktail, f'elt like the soundtrack of my frantic wedding preparations in the broiling Sept heat:. Always great fun and enjoyment of your fine Army music. Many 🙏 thanks .

    Clicked the video to see my former classmate SSG Dillman from the thumbnail. Bummed to see he’s not actually in the video 😢

      We’re bummed too-this was the best video footage we had of the piece, but we still wanted to give Staff Sgt. Dillman the nod in some way as he joined us for two tours in 2019 (and he played tambourine and trash can on this piece). We were grateful to have him and now he’s doing great things for Pershing’s Own.
