Additional fingering suggestions accepted

Thanks to a fellow bulletin boarder, I now have the parts to the original Artie Shaw big band arrangement of his chart "Man From Mars".

I would like to perform this chart with my own big band, but as usual, the Artie Shaw high register licks, which are certainly possible, become a puzzle of fingering logistics.

The final clarinet lick is a high B6 (held for 2 1/2 beats) and then quickly descending chromatically (Bb6, A6, Ab6, G6, etc...)

I know numerous B6, Bb6 and A6 fingerings, but am open to hearing which fingerings YOU would use for these first 3 notes of this (rapidly) descending passage.

I often wish I could have sat down with Artie for just 5 minutes to ask him how he did these types of runs.

Yeah...I know....PRACTICE

Thanks.
