Advance Music Eight Original Jazz Duos for 2 Clarinets - Curtis - Clarinet Duets - Book

Composer: Mike Curtis
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Clarinet Duets

A collection of well-crafted original compositions with underlying jazz roots and a down-home bluesy feel. These duos would also work well on a recital program, alone or combined as a suite.

"The eight pieces are all well crafted, with underlying jazz roots, but employing more sophisticated compositional techniques...Throughout, there is great, engaging counterpoint, a down-home bluesy feel that is sometimes missing in more composed-out jazz pieces, and a harmonic and melodic freedom that is rare among published jazz material...Any of these duos would also work well on a recital program, alone or combined as a suite." - David Demsey, The Saxophone Journal
