We just recorded the (Maihack) written out solo with Bob Sakoi trumpet and 
Paul
Edgerton Clarinet doing the honors on our new Fulton Street CD.  See
www.fultonstreetjazz.com/music.htm or www.ringwald.com/recordings.htm

Jim Maihack at one time wrote the Picou clarinet solo out for clarinet and
two trumpets.
