- If you ever have the chance, Pete is one of the warmest personable clarinet players you will ever meet. Sometimes he likes to have fun while he is working as you will see in this video. Watch the bit with the on/off switch on the drummer.
I remember cutting my teeth on clarinet with Pete Fountain records back in 1960. Boy was I hooked. I have kept up with it ever since. The first one I could play was GOTTA TRAVEL ON, and I was only 12 years old. Pete has a talent like no one else and this performance shows it.
Im wiping away tears as I listen to Pete.There's only one N'awlins
I shut my eyes and still see Pete leading the "Half Fast Walking Club"down the parade route...
We love ya Pete!
We will miss you Pete. Prayers for Beverly and the family.
Pete - May God rest your soul and comfort your family, friends, and fans. You'll be greatly missed. As a student of your jazz clarinet, I'll carry with me your indelible influence. @JimV33, thanks for this post. Besides Pete's playing, I never heard him speak probably more than a few words! But his clarinet did the talking on the bandstand, of course.
He has set the standard and what to shoot for if you want to play a clarinet really good including tone and everything else.
+JimV33 - You said it! It was decades till I realized that the "fat, sweet" tone he had was not usual for trad jazz clarinet, until I started listening to other recordings of earlier guys like George Lewis. I read that Pete modeled his tone after Faz Fazola. I detect a little Goodman in it, too. You've got that kind of tone. And the joy that comes out when Pete plays--that's something else altogether!
Thank you, Pete. Really fine "clarinet bubbles". Kind regards OK-Dreamband.
ClarinetFest in NO - Pete in the Orpheus Theater, 2,000 clarinet players in the audience.
Pandimonium. Love this guy!

Fantastic music
This of course is the standard for New Orleans, but I never get tired of hearing Pete tear it up! WOW!
I was there that night sitting in about the third row center. I talked to Pete afterwards and was not feeling good that night, had the flu or something. He sure played great as usual. Remember on Wolverine Blues when he did a gliss DOWN from high C to A? He can make that horn do anything he wants!
Jim
I know who he is...
He was on 'The Lawrence Welk Show'! He was one of my favorite members of the orchestra.
I'm 16 and I love 'TLWS' :)
Oh, my gosh!! Wonderful!!
makes me smile
Sin palabras de verdad, sin palabras. Impresionante
GRAN CLARINETISTA CON MELODÍAS EXCELENTES
superbravo
RIP Pete

THE BEST OF PETE FOUNTAIN :
When the saints come marching in march
MCA RECORDS
I have that one and play it all the time. Hope my neighbors have grown to like him because I have a heavy duty stereo.
Nice!
the three people who changed my life are: Satchamo, Pete Fountain, & Muddy Waters. Muddy used to call me ,"ol' Scratch'. I new all of them briefly. Face to Face. I mean I just had few words and shook some hands. That's all.
Hi and yes I do play clarinet. I sat in with Pete's band in 1994. I uploaded a couple of videos of the event. They are at my UA-cam location.
Jim
i play clarinet and hopefully i will be that good one day!
had many drinks
Pete Fountain plays a 4* O'Brien glass mouthpiece made by the O'Brien company back in the 1950s. I don't know who is telling you they are bad but many of the best Pricipal Clarinetists in symphonies use them. They will help give you a warmer sound if you find the right one.

clarygirrrl9 "Spare me the dorky drum solo. Doesn't that guy know he has more than one drum in front of him?"
Nothing "dorky" about it, it evokes the sound of a drummer marching down the street with a snare drum. Sounds cool as heck.
@JimV33 I really like my Marca, but it's hard to find them, do you know any sources? Thanks in advance.
hey tsoe2001, he's still kick'n and playing at 79
Nice glissando at 5:15.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dÍKY!!!!!
who is the drum player he looks so unimused and half asleep
amazing clarinet player
Who is the rest of the band...in particular the tall trombonist. Looks like an aging Will Bradley.
He plays a big bore LeBlanc model L1612 w/gold keys. Has the articulated G# and forked Bb. The bore is .59 thousands I think. Mouthpiece is an old O'Brien 4* and he was using Marca 2 1/2 reeds. The ligature is a standard ligature from LeBlanc.
Jim
If I'm not mistaken 59 thousanths of an inch is 1..50 mm....very small. and is written .059.
i notice he uses a crystal mouth piece.
i have only heard bad things about those..
why is that he uses it?
Louis Armstrong made the original btw
weird drumming style, great clarinet player
MOST DRUMMERS TODAY COULD LEARN A FEW THINGS FROM CHARLES LODICE.
He’s an amazing drummer. Swings like mad. Anyone talking smack about him doesn’t know what they’re talking about obviously.
