Introduce your band and audiences to a little 2-beat and some jazz history with this easy to prepare arrangement of this great jazz standard. Originally a ragtime piano piece, That's-A-Plenty is most commonly associated with Dixieland music. This arrangement now makes it available to jazz bands at the medium-easy level. There's lots of fun for all the sections, including some smeared notes for the bones and some short solis for the saxes. The drummer gets some tom-tom work a la Gene Krupa, and while there are no improvised solos, one (or all) of the trumpets gets to do a written out call and response solo back and forth with the rest of the band. This one is a guaranteed crowd pleaser!

Meghan Trainor may think that it's all about that bass, but composer George Shutack makes a case with this solid chart that It's All About That Funk! Punchy rhythmic figures and hard hitting brass lines work together to make this an exciting chart that would work well as a contrasting tune to a swing piece. Great rhythmic workout for the whole band!
