Re: Pete Fountatin's Transcriptions

Thanks Don and Glenn,
I have already tried to email and Google the original message author, with no luck.

I would also like to see/buy/borrow the elusive Pete Fountain's Greatest Solos book with 16 transcriptions. I also contacted Hal Leonard and Aebersold with no luck. I have the 1961 Robins music version with 10 solos and piano accompaniment, and it's a lot of fun. That book shows up on eBay every now and then.

I did some transcriptions myself when I was a kid wearing out my families LPs on the Hi-Fi, and it's easier to do today with software. None of the transcriptions that I have seen can really capture the growl/bend/turn/shake stuff that he does so you still need to listen to the recording. I have almost all of the Pete Fountain LPs, and the good news is that many are showing ups as CDs. The genius of Pete Fountain’s artistry is more important to me than I would expect any rational person to understand.

I would appreciate any leads on the Greatest Solos book or any other material for that matter.

Thanks,
Kip
