Dixieland Jam for Clarinet

I just found this bulletin board and I am excited. Maybe someone can help me again. I have always played classical and band music. I have always admired people who could improvise and I have tried for years unsuccessfully. A few months ago, however, I discovered the Dixieland Jam for Clarinet with CD accompaniment and it has turned my world around. It is EXACTLY what I need. I get terrific sounds and impress everybody and am even starting to improvise a little but the great thing is I don't have to in order to sound great. The score is interesting enough without it. I have performed all these songs and I want MORE. I have searched the internet and stores thoroughly and spent a huge amount of money on books I cannot use. They are either too easy and boring or require improvisation I am not capable of. I am working on the "Patterns for Improvisation" series without much progress. Dixieland Solo Tracks is way too difficult. Does anyone know of a book of songs with CD accompaniment that are real crowd pleasers, exciting to play and encourage but don't require improvisation skills? I would really like a volume two of Dixieland Jam but can't find it. Thanks
