[JPL] Alvin Batiste Question

It was noted that while in high school Alvin Batiste was a "guest soloist" on Mozart's "Concerto in Bb" with the New Orleans Philharmonic. He was the first black that had such an honor - which got him the nickname of "Mozot." Considering that Mozart didn't write a Clarinet concerto in Bb that I'm aware of would anyone know what actual Concerto this was? He wrote one interestingly enough for bassoon (Could have been transposed but my guess it's highly unlikely in this case) and a couple piano concertos and smaller works in the key but none for his instrument. Thanks for any help with this.
