Jazz / Dixieland, New Orleans Jazz Revival
Pete Fountain - Clarinet, Leader
Bunky Jones Bass
Floyd Levin Liner Notes
George H. Buck, Jr. Liner Notes
Merle Koch Piano
Clarinetist Pete Fountain is in typically solid form on this quartet set with pianist Merle Koch, bassist Bunky Jones and drummer V.J. Bourgeois. Fountain has long had the rare talent of making every song he performs sound as if it were newly written for him. That can be quite a trick when one considers that he mostly plays dixieland standards that were ancient before he even began his career. On this interesting outing, Fountain performs lengthy versions of songs like "Up the Lazy River," "Basin Street Blues," "Honeysuckle Rose" and "The Saints," each of which clocks in between nine-and-a-half and eleven minutes. Although he is the main soloist, Fountain never seems to run out of fresh ideas or enthusiasm. Those listeners wondering why the clarinetist has stuck to new orleans jazz throughout his career will know why after hearing the joy that he brings out of these warhorses. [Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans? was re-released on CD in 1991.] ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Pete Fountain
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jul 03, 1930 in New Orleans, LA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Dixieland, Dixieland Revival
One of the most famous of all New Orleans jazz clarinetists, Pete Fountain has the ability to play songs that he has performed a countless number of times (such as "Basin Street Blues") with so much enthusiasm that one would swear he had just discovered them. His style and most of his repertoire have remained unchanged since the late '50s, yet he never sounds bored. In 1948, Fountain (who is heavily influenced by Benny Goodman and Irving Fazola) was a member of the Junior Dixieland Band and this was followed by a stint with Phil Zito and an important association with the Basin Street Six (1950-1954), with whom the clarinetist made his first recordings. In 1955, Fountain was a member of the Dukes of Dixieland, but his big breakthrough came when he was featured playing a featured Dixieland number or two on each episode of The Lawrence Welk Show during 1957-1959. After he left, he moved back to New Orleans, opened his own club, and has played there regularly up until retiring from the nightclub business in early 2003. Fountain's finest recordings were a lengthy string for Coral during 1959-1965 (they turned commercial for a period after that).
