Charles Zimmerman (1862-1916) was 'bandmaster' at the U.S. Naval Academy during thirty years. He wrote his famous march Anchors aweigh at the request of the Academy's Senior Class in 1907. They asked him for a stirring inspiring march that could also be used as war song' for their (American) football team and that could also maybe remain popular for some time. This turned out to become true. Pi Scheffer's splendid swinging arrangement combining a Dixieland combo and symphonic band was a big success when recorded by the Marine Band of the Royal Dutch Navy and the Dutch Swing College Band.

Charles Zimmerman (1862-1916) fut durant plus de trente ans chef de musique à l'Académie Navale de l'U.S. Navy. Il a écrit sa célèbre marche 'Anchors Aweigh' (Levez l'ancre) en 1907, à la demande de la classe terminale de cette académie. Les élèves demandaient une marche entraînante qui servirait de chant de guerre pour l'équipe de football (américain) et qui pourrait, peut-être, connaître une certaine popularité. Ce fut certainement le cas. L'arrangement en swing de Pi Scheffer a connu un énorme succès grâce à l'enregistrement par la Musique de la Marine Royale Néerlandaise avec le célèbre Dutch Swing College Band.

ANCHORS AWEIGH Charles Zimmerman; arr. Pi SchefferCharles Zimmerman (1862-1916) was dertig jaar lang 'bandmaster' aan de U.S. Naval Academy. Hij schreef zijn beroemde mars Anchors Aweigh' (Ankers los) op vraag van de senior class van de U.S. Naval Academy in 1907. Zij vroegen een opwekkende inspirerende mars die als supporterslied voor hun (Amerikaanse) voetbalploeg zou kunnen dienen en misschien ook heel lang populair zou kunnen blijven. Dat laatste was zeker het geval. Pi Scheffers prachtig swingend arrangement met dixieland combo werd door de Dutch Swing College Band en de Marinierskapel enorm populair.
