Does anybody know of a good sheet music version of "Mood Indigo" by Duke Ellington on a B flat horn? Thanks ahead of time.

Mood Indigo? Isn't that what the cow did after eating the blueberry patch?

The original was not a clarinet solo, it was a trio of muted trumpet, trombone, and clarinet on the bottom (Barney Bigard). Later versions featured Harry Carney on bass clarinet, but it was almost always voiced as a trio. This doesn't mean you can't play it as a solo, though. For whatever sheet music you get, if there's no clarinet part find the melody line and play it on clarinet by transposing every note up a whole step (or if your transposition chops aren't there, just write it out yourself).

Do you want music where you would play along with a CD, or do you need piano accompaniment.
If you want a play-along, Jamey Aebersold's lower-numbered Duke Ellington volume has it.

If that version doesn't suit you, you could also do a title search under instrumental music at J. W. Pepper.
