I don't know of any jazz clarinet books that could possibly be as good for a player as listening to Don Byron, Eddie Daniels, Sidney Bechet, and, as you mentioned Shaw and Goodman. Maybe start with some of that? I know that very few things bring me more joy than hearing new (to me) clarinet music. You have to listen to and learn to love jazz before you can play it will, and I think she'd like to hear thost musicians, if she doesn't already (she probably does, now that I think about it...).
If you can somehow find her a good reed, that would be a perfect gift for a clarinetist!
I need to find a girlfriend who would put this kind of thought into finding me music-related gifts...
