The Best of Pete Fountain

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Though clarinetist Pete Fountain has long been a fixture on the New Orleans jazz scene, his greatest notoriety came from his 1957-1959 nationally televised appearances with the Lawrence Welk orchestra leading a small group playing traditional jazz. Fountain, a Benny Goodman disciple who plays the old standards with indefatigable fervor, is a fixture on Mardi Gras day in New Orleans, leading the early morning parade down St. Charles Avenue with his "Half Fast" marching club. As Fountain walks, he plays the numbers on this record that comprise his standard repertoire--"While We Danced at the Mardi Gras," "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans," "Basin Street Blues," "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans," "When the Saints Come Marching in March" and "St. Louis Blues." --John Swenson

5 out of 5 stars A Gift of Old Favorites.......2007-01-23

Originally, I bought this for my son who remembers "Stranger on the Shore" from a juke box in his childhood. But when I heard the album, I had to download it before sending it on. What a joy! I play it all the time now. Besides the nostalgia and a superb artist... good quality recording. Excellent!

5 out of 5 stars REALLY the Best.......2006-05-09

First had this as a tape in the early 70s, and it's still my favorite Pete Fountain album.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic cd.......2005-11-23

I bought the cassette version of this album over 20 years ago. I have purchased several other Pete Fountain cd's since. This is by far the best Pete Fountain CD I have found.

5 out of 5 stars The master's best.......2004-07-25

I'm not a jazz afficianado, so I do not know whether there are other clarinetists out there equal to Pete Fountain. I do know that Pete Fountain makes the clarinet sing, talk, grieve, celebrate, exalt, revere, wail, and cry. He takes songs that I know, and moves them to another level.


On this CD (I actually have the audiocasette -- remember those?), the listener gets a good sampler of his best work. "While We Danced at the Mardi Gras" takes one right into the spirit of the festival in New Orleans.

"Closer Walk With Thee" takes a spiritual song and makes it a spiritual experience.

The "Fascination Medley" I like best for the "Fascination" part, which takes one on a soaring ride. I do wish it were not a medley, though, as that spoils the effect for me.

"Yes, Indeed!" makes me want to dance, even though I cannot.

I like the song "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You," which I usually associate with Dean Martin singing it, but Pete Fountain's rendition makes the words superfluous.

"My Blue Heaven" makes me want to sail the Caribbean, for somne reason.

"When the Saints Go Marching In" takes me to a New Orleans street funeral with all of its vacillation between melancholy grief and near-rapturous fervor.


When Pete Fountain plays the clarinet, it is truly a licorice stick to be savored, "Yes, Indeed!"

4 out of 5 stars Hey! It's Pete,.......2003-01-01

I had the lp for so long until my [$$$] stylus went kaput but I love the vinyl version over the cd. This cd has some great ambience, a nice drum solo(I just love his back-up on this disk) and the disk was produced well. The price is incredible and you can't miss with this high-class, marching-band ensemble. I don't like medleys which is why I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars.This is a great Sunday morning- brunch time listen.You can crank this up too. Buy this.

4 out of 5 stars Pete Fountain's Best of Dixieland.......2006-03-03

I purchased Pete Fountain Presents the Best of Dixieland for a Mardi Gras party my wife and I were hosting. The CD was actually my second choice after a CD with Mardi Gras parade music was out of stock. However, I was well pleased with the CD and actually think it makes for better listening than the parade music would have. If you are looking for some lively Dixieland jazz music to play in the background, you may want this CD. The only reason I am not rating the CD with 5 stars is that there is one song, the last one, which is really cornball. Given that there are 20 songs in all, and the other 19 are really good, I suppose it might deserve 5 stars after all.

5 out of 5 stars Classical Dixieland.......2003-07-30

The songs on this CD are classical Dixieland selections.
Each selection is 2-3 min., much shorter than Pete and his band play in concert.

South Rampart Street Parade is broken up with drum interludes.
Otherwise this is a great CD.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest New Orleans, French Quarter, Mardi Gras-Styled Jazz CDs One is Likely to Ever Hear.......2007-01-02

This is a great CD of trumpeter Al Hirt's dixieland, Mardi Gras music. Al Hirt used to play at a club on Bourbon Street in New Orleans' French Quarter district, which I have only read about. If you're looking for French Quarter, dixie-style jazz music, this CD is perfect. Trumpeter Hirt is a technical marvel, and this disc of Pete Fountain's, the clarinetist, is great for the people who love Hirt's music, as this disc is a Pete Fountain tribute, the two playing together with four others in a group, to Hirt who had apparently just died before this CD released, according to its liner notes written by Pete. It says Al and Pete used to go fishing together.

Under normal circumstances, I suppose this fact about fishing together would be unimportant; but, it gives me something about Hirt's personal life, as does the part about Al's and Pete's laughably terrible tenure together as pest control exterminators when the jazz scene in Orleans was still scarce early in their relationship.

During my own, personal trumpet-playing years through junior high school--I played about four years--I looked up at Al "Jumbo" Hirt as a kid. And, like Hirt, I also went into the army, although I had other duties than playing a bugle or trumpet there: I had nine years beginning in 1997.

I once saw Al Hirt play live. It was July Fourth, probably around 1989 would be my guess. He came to Ormond Beach, the adjacent city--meaning next to--Daytona Beach in Florida--where I lived and went to school. Needless to say, I will never forget that experience for as long as I live. It was under the Granada Bridge, which is the largest bridge crossing the Intercoastal Waterway River, called the Halifax River in that part of Florida. It runs parallel to the Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach shoreline. Actually, that "beach side" of the river is only a few blocks wide. The largest bridge in the Daytona Beach area is the one that crosses the Halifax River in Ormond Beach: the Granada Bridge. At the foot of the eastern beach-side of the river, there was a large picnic-style festival with cotton candy, watermelon, and other stuff that one finds in a carnival-styled picnic. This festival was called Jazz-Matazz. There were several jazz musicians at the fest, one of them was a local who had come from the area. But, the highlight of this great jazz night was seeing Al Hirt with his band on the podium playing dixieland jazz. As dusk loomed over onto the west, I could see behind me thick crowds of spectators standing on Granada Bridge up to a mile back from where I was sitting, on the grass, and they loved the music. The crowds gathered there once Hirt-and-company started to play: talk about attracting a crowd! And so, Al Hirt played until the merriment of July Fourth fireworks of Ormond Beach went crashing onto the dark sky. Man, what a memorable image I carry from that evening when my dad took me and my younger sister to that fest.

I guess I must've been very busy with the army for those nine years because, in 1999, I didn't even know that Hirt had died. That's a long life from his birth in 1922. But, reading these liner notes somehow changes me. I only just found out he died about a week ago, and hence I picked out a great disc of Hirt jazz in the same memoriam to Hirt that Fountain provides by this release: this is the disc I chose. Knowing of his death makes me feel loss, remorse, and regret; and, I even feel I'm on the verge of tears. But, I know that if I feel the notion of sorrow, that it fits in with Hirt's music somehow. In addition to that, I also have that live performance on the Super Jazz CD, with Fountain and Hirt. In that disc, Hirt talks about something called a "jazz funeral."

A jazz funeral is a New Orleans-style funeral where, instead of ordinary funeral music, dixie and rag music would be played live after the funeral procession, much like having a party. He says the jazz music would start slow to show sympathy to the dead person, but that the music would then crank up into fast dixie-style jazz like a happy party--like in that movie "One Night Stand" with Wesley Snipes. I don't know if Hirt had a "jazz funeral" when he died, but I imagine so; and, I imagine the pain felt by those, like Fountain, for Hirt's death. And, I share in that pain. A marvel who plays as well as Hirt shouldn't have to die; he should get to ramble around forever.

Al Hirt, if you're listenin' from up there, your music has made the world a better place.

Oh yeah, if you dig this Mardi Gras stuff, check out these CDs: Al Hirt at the Mardi Gras (fun stuff!), and Honey in the Horn/Our Man in New Orleans (the 2-album CD). These albums help prove why New Orleans is on the Music Map of the world. The only thing that came even close to the experience I've had with Al Hirt's CDs was when I visited Munich's Hofbraeuhaus while I was stationed in Germany, a restaurant with a live band that really cooks, although it's beer-drinking music of a different kind.

5 out of 5 stars Essential Dixieland.......2004-09-24

This rare CD is a revelation. The music is well played swinging Dixieland music, played by the best. Al Hirt on trumpet, Pete Fountain on clarinet and also tenor sax, and Bob Havens on trombone. The remastering is excellent. A highlight are the two rare tenor sax solos by Fountain on Wolverine Blues and Washington & Lee Swing. Great stuff!

5 out of 5 stars A One-of-a Kind Gem!.......2001-03-13

The word "dixieland" rubs many jazz fans the wrong way. Forget the labeling. For anyone who loves jazz clarinet or, for that matter, those modern-day listeners who tend to be dismissive of the old licorice stick, this album provides a rare opportunity to hear virtually all the masters of the instrument on a single disc. It's unlikely a collection like it exists anywhere. The all-star line-up includes the New Orleans masters (Dodds, Noone, Bechet), the Chicago school (Pee Wee Russell), and latter-day giants (Wilbur, Davern, Fountain). Most telling is the expressive range and variety, from the intimate and heartfelt conversations of Russell, to the playful, flirtatious melodic statements of Irving Fazola, to the endlessly inventive responses of Omar Simeon, to the incisive, penetrating attack of Davern, to the breathtaking virtuoso solo work of Edmund Hall. In fact, Fountain's own smooth, polished performance sets him more in the company of Benny Goodman than alongside the highly personal voices represented in this collection. Those listeners who are so quick to champion the tenor sax as the most expressive instrument in jazz, as the closest thing to the human voice, should listen carefully and often to this album before making any further pronouncements.

4 out of 5 stars A big ol' grab batch of Satch..........2003-09-08

If you are a fan of real Traditional Jazz, and a fan of Armstrong's performances of classics like "Basin Street Blues", "When It's Sleepy Time Down South", "Muskrat Ramble", and the like, many of them Live and relaxed (were they ever anything else?) - then you will dig this compilation, put together by Pete Fountain of his favorite Pops 'Dixieland' moments. The dates vary from 1927 (in the studio with Johnny Dodds) through the All-Star Band California Concerts in 1951, Live, to a really great and loose studio version of "Free As A Bird/ Oh, Didn't He Ramble" with Earl Hines, Cozy Cole, Jack Teagarden, Barney Bigard, and Arvell Shaw in 1950, where Louis is REALLY swingin', and even a duet with Billy Kyle of "Dear Old Southland" from 1957. One of the few problems with a compilation over such stretches of time is the variance in volume and tone sometimes from track to track, otherwise this is a bona-fide candidate for more than 4 stars. There are plenty of great Satch moments to treasure on this great compilation, and I'm finding it hard to pick any favorites...but the aformentioned duet definately stands out, as does all of the Live stuff, and...well...the whole damn CD. If you can eat your figs moldy, you will love this, I guarantee it. And even if you have no idea what I'm talking about and you just love great jazz, Armstrong-style, pick it up used for cheap and have fun!
