Hey, I'm looking for a Pete Fountain transcribed solo book. Supposedly you can get it from Aebersold

Pete Fountain's Greatest Solos. Transcriptions of 16 solos. $11.95. Available from Jamey Aebersold Jazz Inc., P.O. Box 1244, New Albany, IN 47151-1244, tel (1-800)456-1388, [www.jazzbooks.com].

Can't find anything about it though. Amazon has a listing for over a thousand dollars. Does anyone have any info on a pete fountain trascription book or where I could obtain one?

Thanks

This was discussed in a 2001 thread:

http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=221730&t=33712

It was difficult (impossible) to get the book even back then. One person, however, did post that they owned the book.

The Pete Fountain transcriptions were originally done by James Vernon. At one time he had 6 of the transcriptions on his website. Now only one remains:

At this point, I would try interlibrary loan...GBK

I have the 1961 version of "Play clarinet like Pete Fountain" with 10 of his transposed Jazz classics with Piano accompaniment. You might try doing a search on "Robbins Music Corp. New York N.Y." Good luck.

It appears that the ICA collection at the University of Maryland has the Pete Fountain book in their collection:

Pete Fountain books show up frequently on that auction site.

Zachmozach- Any luck on finding these PF transcriptions? I must have been looking about the same time as you. I tried to email Mr. Vernon, with no luck.

I have one, but it may not be the version you're looking for.
