May I suggest that you run, do not walk, to Mr. Van Cott's web site to
buy the Caracas Quartet's CD with Paquito D'Rivera, "Aires Tropicales".
It is a fabulously played CD, with very entertaining music. I've loaned
my copy to several colleagues in the Richmond Symphony, including
non-clarinetists, and it has been very popular. I have to keep close
track of it, for fear of its "disappearing"!

No connection with either Mr. Van Cott, Paquito D'Rivera, or the Caracas
Clarinet Quartet, at least not financially. Just a satisfied listener.

BTW, "Aires Tropicales" by Paquito D'Rivera is available as a Woodwind
Quintet or a Clarinet Quintet from International Opus publishers. I've
played a few of the clarinet movements, and they are fun.
