One of Benny Goodman's signature pieces, Stompin' at the Savoy will require some drill and practice in several spots. The key signature of three flats may be challenging. The Medium Swing style makes the piece fun to play as well as listen to. The part 1 has a fairly wide range that soars to the altissimo register in the second half. May be challenging for young players but is worth the time. Suitable for school or community ensembles. .

Alec Templeton was a blind musician very popular in England and America in the 1930's and 1940's. This nifty little piece shows his skills in composing a jazzy sound using the techniques of J. S. Bach. Benny Goodman recorded the fugue movement in 1938. Playing in a swing style, they played the piece first as written by Templeton, and then repeated with solos. It is worth listening to that performance if you want to get the swing right! It is set for clarinet quartet by John Gibson (clarinet 1,2,3, and bass with an alternate Eb alto in place of clarinet 3). The audio sample has short parts of both movements. With a little practice this could be played by advanced intermediate players. Have fun!
