How about the Bop Duets book by Bugs Bowers?

It's not a book, it's a three movement piece, but it would be quite challenging.

I'll have to do some digging, but you might be able to Goodle or JWPepper these:

1 - Hip to the Blues (published for a variety of instrument)
2 - Stage Band Duets (not literally sure of the title)
3 - Jazz Conception for Saxophone (Lennie Niehaus) duet book

I also think that David Baker has ones called "Cookin' Duets" and "Smokin' Duets".

I have only test driven #'s 1 and 3

Don't know if still in print, but
"streamlined Duets" by Harry Huffnagle, published by David Gornston (then) at 117 West 48th St. New York. When I got it it had a cover price of $1.25.

Isee from posting 000231 in the Klarinet Archive that it may no longer be available so it might be appropriate to case up 2nd hand sources.

Best of luck

Jazzy Duets Clarinets Universal Edition 19430
Blue Clarinet Universal Edition ?

There are also duets for saxophone, flute and flute/clarinet by the same guy. He also wrote 20 Modern Studies for Saxophone and 40 Modern Studies for Clarinet. All well written and educationally sound, especially for his compositional techniques and two part writing which is impeccable. Universal edition has a series entitled the 'Jazzy Series'.

I like "Jazz Gems for Two", duet arrangements of 15 classics by Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Giuffre, Duke Ellington, Thelonius Monk and others.

It's arranged by Mark Taylor, and published by Hal Leonard.

there is a good book of Duets by Heinz Both
but i don't know what it's called.... i got it in Germany, but actually some students here got it from a local shop so i know it's available internationally...
hang on, here it is.....
"Dance and Jazz duets" by Heinz Both, book (heft) 1 and 2
i have book 1, and there are at least 4 tunes that are really popular with students, but also sound good enough to play with more experience players (i have used them busking, and as little encore pieces in concert). The other pieces haven't quite "grabbed me", but may prove to be hidden gems, i'm not sure. The 4 that are "good", are REALLY GOOD.
hope this was helpful
