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!

Tuneful and catchy, Binge Watch is a 12-bar blues in F that your students will want to binge-play!

It’s scored for full jazz ensemble, but playable with as few as 3 saxes, 2 trumpets and 1 trombone, plus rhythm section. Binge on this!
