In April 2001 I will play the Weber 2 with a community orchestra in NW =
Pennsylvania, my first paid concerto gig! They have just asked if I could =
also play some jazzy solos (Goodman/Shaw) with orchestra acc. They might =
choose to use 1 movement of Weber and a bunch of these others. (A great =
friend is the conductor so I am flexible) I had originally suggested the =
Copland but it was considered too hard and contemporary(!) for them. =20
They want something on the program to attract a larger audience, so swing =
was suggested by some of their board members. To think that a well played =
Weber concerto on clarinet would not attract like a pianist playing =
Beethoven, such a tragedy!

So,,,

Do any of you know of available arrangements of Goodman solos, or swing =
tunes or something suitable? Original works in a jazz style or pop =
style?=20

Help!
