Hi, Bob. Just yesterday, I noticed that in the Mar/Apr 1995
issue of
Saxophone Journal there is a short duet for clarinets by Ralph
Martino.
Perhaps not exactly jazz, but certainly jazz oriented. This issue
of the
magazing also includes a free compact disk, which includes a
performance
of the duet, with *both* parts being played by the famous (or
infamous)
Al Gallodoro! Many younger musicians may not recognize the name,
but
anyone who has heard a Warner Brothers cartoon has experienced his

playing - and his phenomenal finger technique.

It seems that the duet
would be a real technical challenge, but fun for
two advanced clarinetists.

Best wishes, and good luck on the performance.

Ed Lacy
