 Re: help with tune on Pete Fountain video

Making comments on a Pete Fountain thread about his sound being nasal is like saying "Well...he's a bit too aggressive" on a Beethoven thread. The sort of comments I usually ignore, but c'mon. Listen to some jazz players--the whole history...and listen to several eras of Pete's career. His sound is darn near perfect, much of the time, for what he needed to accomplish musically. The guy is a major figure, whose sound has been emulated by many for generations.

I dig Bill Smith (a lot) but pitting or comparing one against the other is absurd, IMO.
