Fletcher Henderson, Henderson Rag.
I'm arranging it for Clarinet Quartet, and I can tell you,
these guys can PLAY!
Henderson also invented the Lawrence Welk Sound, Woodwinds playing Staccatto Figures in a a semi-ricky-tic fashion.
Sounds Hip when he does it, and even pre-dates Thad Jones by a Lot!
God help anyone subbing in the Sax/Clarinet Section...

Oops, that was Jimmie Lunceford who wrote for woodwinds, esp Flutes.

Rick W	Other mods would no doubt ban you for posting a link that contained so many clarinets. I have a cd of Duke's band from the '20's. The writing/playing is fantastic. Excellent chops didn't start with bebop, that's for sure.

Gerry Mulligan wrote a Tune called something like: Sonata for 2 Clarinets and Big Band. The Joke was that there aren't ANY Clarinets in it. Sensible.

Long time Ellingtonian Jimmy Hamilton is featured on "Jeep's Blues " performed by the clarinet quartet Clarinet Summit (Hamilton, John Carter, Alvin Batiste, and David Murray on bass clarinet.)

It's entitled "Wrong Note!".* Good use of a clarinet piece, or what? irony in the placement in front of Mr. Ellington, who did say there are no wrong notes!!!
