Review "...I found the Saxton's Cornet Band to be one of the most impressive I have encountered." -- Historic Brass Society Newsletter, Summer 2002 "The liner notes are detailed and informative...It is especially good to get a clear desription of the instruments." -- Historic Brass Society Newsletter, Summer 2002 About the Artist Saxton's Cornet Band recreates the sounds, appearances, and conduct of brass bands during the antebellum and Civil War eras. The band's members are dedicated to historical accuracy based on thorough research and understanding of period resources, musical excellence ensured by careful recruiting of personnel and thorough rehearsal. The modern-day Saxton's Cornet Band is named for an ensemble that performed in Kentucky from the Civil War period into the early twentieth century. Organized in 1989, the Saxton's Cornet Band of today tries to keep alive the spirit and high standards of the original ensemble. The Band has performed on Washington's Pennsylvania Avenue and at the inauguration of President George W. Bush, at National Park Service sites including Gettysburg and Gateway Arch in St. Louis, aboard Steamboats, historic opera houses, bandstands and theatres and performing arts centers coast to coast. Film credits include Gettysburg and The Day Lincoln Was Shot! . See more
