clarinet lead sheets?

edited September 2007 in Welcome Posts: 2
I'm new to the repetoire and thus far have been learning tunes by ear from recordings. Are there transcriptions of Django charts in Bflat? If not are their fakebooks in concert key?

Also am looking to hear other clarinetists playing this repetoire and have found a few, but am interested in recommendations of other players to listen to including original recordings that would have the most solos by Rostaing or other clarinetists who played with Django. Any thoughts?

    It might give you a start. All of the sheets would be in C, but if you can transpose on the fly, they might be helpful.

    Obviously I would also start with the Hubert Rostaing recordings with QHCF. For something a little more current, you might try Lollo Meier's CD Hondarribia which features Belgian clarinetist Andre Donni opposite Lollo's guitar as the second solo instrument. The recording project itself was started out of a mutual admiration for the Rostaing version of the QHCF according to the liner notes.

    Here is one of Andre with Lollo doing Blue Sky (NOT on the HondarribiaCD):


    and here is one of Andre with his dad Willi playing Nuages:
