There are two recordings of it on CD that I know of. The first is by
Michael Collins and the London Sinfonietta, conducted by John Adams
himself, on Nonesuch, along with "John's Book of Alleged Dances"
performed by the Kronos Quartet.

The second is on the album American Clarinet, on Virgin Classics, which
has Alain Damiens' recordings of Elliott Carter (Clarinet Concerto and
Gra), Steve Reich (New York Counterpoint) and Howard Sandroff
(Tephillah) along with Andre Troutett's performance of Gnarly Buttons.
