Re: Vibe and Clarinet Parts for Slipped Disc by Benny Goodman

From what I am to understand, the clarinet 'parts' to Benny Goodman's repertoire are all transcriptions written out after the fact by clarinetists trying to have something 'replicable' to play.

Benny and his crew just 'played.' Unlike many other jazz groups, Goodman (and company) did in fact stick with a certain 'construction' for any given piece for period of time but none of it was written down as far as I know.

If there are any such parts for the other instruments of the sextet, they'd be in the domain of other 'fans' who play those instruments.

P.S. Had to listen to the 1945 recording (inspirational) on YOUTUBE and saw a citation from somebody from four years ago claiming to have parts for the clarinet, piano and vibraphone. So it's out there somewhere. Honestly though, it's just 'a lick' and solos.
