When I read this, I immediately went for my copy of the Artie Shaw
Clarinet Method. Published by Robbins Music ("Price $2.00 Net"), it may
still be in print. At the end of the book are several transcriptions of
Shaw solos, including "I'm Coming Virginia", "Back Bay Shuffle", "Rose
Room" (a favorite of mine), and "My Blue Heaven". I've used these as
encore pieces for recitals, with good success. The piano part is on the
left of each song page, with the solo on the right.
