I played clarinet in high school, and 60 years later I still fool around with it on occasion. I've seen Pete play a number of times, first at his Bourbon Street club, and later at the Hilton. After one performance my wife and I lingered at the album sales area, and were fortunate enough to meet Pete and his wife. We chatted for quite a while. He is a genuinely nice person, and we are devastated that we couldn't find him this week while we were in New Orleans. <br /><br />Thanks for this excellent blog. I'll be a regular reader. And we wish Pete the very best.Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954202829886908859.post-78153565922647978612011-10-16T22:17:35.757-04:002011-10-16T22:17:35.757-04:00Pete Fountain is absolutely the finest clarinet pl...Pete Fountain is absolutely the finest clarinet player on the planet. Has been for years & his sound brings me to tears!! Oh, what a talent.

I really enjoy your blog. Thanks for shari...David-<br /><br />I really enjoy your blog. Thanks for sharing all this information.<br /><br />Can you answer a question?<br /><br />I'm a jazz fan (obviously!). I play a little clarinet myself, and my grandfather introduced me to Pete Fountain when I was in high school.<br /><br />So I buy a lot of Pete's albums at Aomeba Music in Hollywood, so I've amassed a great deal of them. <br /><br />The man must have recorded 80 or more albums, releasing up to four a year. Now my friends and I are kinda music snobs- one of them has a music degree. And all of us are wondering (drum roll...)...<br /><br />Who bought all these albums!??!? I mean, they're really well produced and arranged by Bud Dant, and there's a lot of good ones in the stack, but at four or so a year, how did they move so much product? <br /><br />I don't mean to sound facetious. I'm really curious what Coral's business model was and how/where these were sold. They must have made money, or they wouldn't have made so many.<br /><br />So there you have it.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge here.<br /><br />Best,<br />RichRichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836251323371352990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954202829886908859.post-64519944448068650832011-10-03T03:48:14.362-04:002011-10-03T03:48:14.362-04:00lot of good information, I come here all the time ...lot of good information, I come here all the time and am very happy with your updates, Thank you!<br />For creative Article writing you can pay a visit here.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.thewisesolutions.com/" rel="nofollow">Article writing</a> powww.anklet-it.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258011729855050480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954202829886908859.post-38623757858246833792011-08-06T09:02:36.119-04:002011-08-06T09:02:36.119-04:00Do you know of any upcoming Pete Fountain appearan...Do you know of any upcoming Pete Fountain appearances that will be open to the public?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
