Ebony Concerto, Yeh (CD)

Discs: 1
Record Label: Reference Recordings
Release Year: 1993

John Bruce Yeh, longtime Assistant Principal Clarinet of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, teams up with the DePaul University Wind and Jazz Ensembles in flashy and fun works for clarinet and winds. Among the selections are Artie Shaw’s Clarinet Concerto — incidentally, Shaw and Yeh share a birthday, arguably making this a sweeter recording.
