It's a new year, and we are starting out by celebrating the large ensemble jazz arrangements of Alan Baylock! Full disclosure: Alan was my arranging TA at the University of North Texas, where he now runs the infamous 1:00 Lab Band. Lucky me! In this episode we discuss starting simple, what we learned in college, framing devices, and How To Gain Life Skills From Playing In A Big Band (this should totally be a college course, right?)

If you're lucky enough to be going to the JEN conference in Dallas this week, you can catch Alan and the 1:00 band LIVE Friday 1/7 at 7:45 pm!
