James, I wish I could help, but I can't. Benny Goodman's Clarinet Method
has transcriptions of other Goodman solos, but not the three you list.

If I were making such a list, Shaw's solo on Stardust would be number one
on it. And by the way, can anyone tell me who the trumpet player was who
took the first chorus, playing mostly straight?
