Re: Survey - Which Pete Fountain CD?

I suggest a very inexpensive one called "New Orleans All-Stars." It was actually a live session led by trumpeter Tony Almerico, but it has been packaged under Pete Fountain's name. Featured are three different clarineists, Pete Fountain, Harry Shields and Peewee Spitalera.

It's an oversize band, but not the kind of arranged setting that we normally find Pete Fountain and Al Hirt in. This one is very free wheeling and the quality of the solos is very good.

This is the album that I cut my teeth on, and I still enjoy it.
