In addition to the Shaw and Goodman books, try Bill Smith's Book "Jazz Clarinet." http://www.parksidepublications.com/jazzclarinet.html.

Bill Smith was better known as William O. Smith, a frequent member of several of Dave Brubeck's jazz groups, including the early Dave Brubeck Octet.

Bill Smith wrote, performed, and recorded his own Concerto for Clarinet for Jazz Combo. Mike McGinnis on YouTube gives a more recent rendition of this composition, which deserves to be better-known and played more often.

Smith's book is recommended by both Buddy DeFranco and Eddie Daniels.
