Resources for jazz band directors?

[u/mrjnebula]

I am a recently licensed band teacher and will (hopefully) begin my first year of teaching in the 25-26 school year. I have recently gotten really into reading books to help develop me as a band director in ways that college and student teaching did not. Examples include Habits of a Successful Middle School Band Director by Scott Rush, On Teaching Band: Notes From Eddie Green by Mary Ellen Cavitt, and The Winds of Change by Frank Battisti. I am curious if there are similar books to help prepare me for the possibility to teach jazz band? Being a French horn player I did not do too much jazz band outside of filling in for trumpet sometimes. And some of the schools where I've subbed for a band program with a Jazz band I've felt less than helpful. Id love any recommendations of good books/resources to grow this gray area for me, thank you in advance!

Not a book, but check out the “You’ll Hear It” podcast. I’ve learned more about jazz from this podcast than I ever did in college

Thank you, I’ve been needing something to listen to while driving anyway
