Hello,

The only piece I can think of is this (unless this is the piece you already knew about):

At a Dixieland Jazz Funeral by Jared Spears

If I recall correctly, there is a part where a small dixie band is featured in front of the ensemble.

Hope this helps!

"State Street Strut" by James 'Red' Mcleod is excellent.

There's another one called "Dixieland Jamboree" that features a small Dixieland combo inside of an concert band.

And yet another one called "Original Dixieland Concerto".

The Canadian Brass arrangement of Just a Closer Walk With Thee always seems to go over well - solemn up to about bar 38, then up tempo dance style.
EDIT: I think it was arranged by Luther Henderson.

Our community band has done "The Original Dixieland Concerto" that Dan mentions. It's definitely not difficult and can be improved if the Dixieland players are capable of improv to any degree -- as I suppose would be the case if you actually have a Dixieland band. It's a crowd pleaser.

It contains a collage of snippets from "Jazz Me Blues", "Ballin' The Jack", and "Original Dixieland One-Step" with a 24 bar intro and some filler here and there.

Dixieland Jam, arr. Bob Lowden, for concert band with combo soloists. Solos are written out, but can be played free-form.
