The Art of Pete Fountain’s Clarinet Language and Techniques

I stumbled across this excellent Doctoral dissertation on the technique and style of jazz clarinettist Pete Fountain, by Arizona based woodwind player Shengwen Wu.
I really need to sit down and absorb the contents, plus there's 100 pages (!) of complete Pete Fountain transcribed solos, from some of his finest albums.

Download the dissertation as a PDF here, from Arizona State University:

Shengwen is also an adept choro, klezmer and classical musician, here's her channel, where, amongst other videos, she plays through some of the Fountain transcriptions.
