[Dixielandjazz] Clarinet solo -- who was first?

[Laurence Swain]

Thanks for all the responses, both direct to me and on the list.

I had forgotten about that well-known piccolo solo.

Good to learn about Alphonse Picou.

Can anyone think of any other solo versions that many players render in other tunes?  Or is 
High Society the unique case?
