by
Pete Fountain
Although this CD draws its 22 selections from clarinetist Pete Fountain's best period (his years on the Coral label), the selections picked are sometimes a bit eccentric. Fountain is heard playing Dixieland with some of his bands, but is also joined by -- choral groups and occasional strings; no personnel listing or even recording dates are ...

Pete Fountain Presents the Best of Dixieland

by
Pete Fountain
There are relatively few of Pete Fountain's early-'60s Coral recordings available on CD, which is a pity because those rank with the finest work of the New Orleans clarinetist's career. This sampler in a series presented by Fountain has 20 selections in all. A dozen cuts comprise the complete reissue of the 1963 album South Rampart Street Parade, ...

Pete Fountain
This album is an excellent showcase for Pete Fountain in his early days. The clarinetist (who is the only horn in a quartet with pianist Stan Wrightsman, bassist Morty Corb, and drummer Jack Sperling) sounds typically enthusiastic on the Dixieland warhorses, turning "The Saints" into a march and coming up with fresh things to say on such songs as ...

This budget LP does not bother to list its recording dates or personnel and clarinetist Pete Fountain is actually a sideman rather than the leader but the music is wonderful with plenty of exciting ensembles. A variety of local New Orleans greats (including trumpeters Alvin Alcorn and Tony Almerico and trombonist Jack Delaney) star along with ...

Various Artists
This package was yet another attempt to cash in on the late-'90s retro craze for "swing" music and dancing. Artists loosely working in the swing idiom are featured on a selection of the type of obligatory Christmas theme recordings that proliferated in the major label's catalogs back in the 1940s, '50s, and early '60s. Selections include the great ...

Pete Fountain & the New Lawrence Welk Orchestra
Pete Fountain has been synonymous with Dixieland jazz since the late '50s, and it makes sense that he would record with the New Lawrence Welk Orchestra, since he originally rose to fame playing his music during special features on The Lawrence Welk Show between 1957 and 1959. This ghost band is not that similar to its predecessor, as it features ...
