Pete Fountain • Loving Is A Way Of Living



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). ~bio by Scott Yanow

Pete Fountain, uno de los más famosos clarinetistas de jazz de Nueva Orleans, tiene la capacidad de tocar canciones que ha interpretado innumerables veces (como "Basin Street Blues") con tanto entusiasmo que uno juraría que acaba de descubrirlas. Su estilo y la mayor parte de su repertorio han permanecido inalterados desde finales de los años 50, y sin embargo nunca suena aburrido. En 1948, Fountain (muy influenciado por Benny Goodman e Irving Fazola) fue miembro de la Junior Dixieland Band, a lo que siguió una temporada con Phil Zito y una importante asociación con los Basin Street Six (1950-1954), con los que el clarinetista realizó sus primeras grabaciones. En 1955, Fountain fue miembro de los Dukes of Dixieland, pero su gran avance llegó cuando apareció tocando uno o dos números de Dixieland en cada episodio de The Lawrence Welk Show durante 1957-1959. Tras su marcha, se trasladó a Nueva Orleans, abrió su propio club y ha tocado allí con regularidad hasta que se retiró del negocio de los clubes nocturnos a principios de 2003. Las mejores grabaciones de Fountain fueron una larga serie para Coral durante 1959-1965 (se volvieron comerciales durante un periodo posterior). ~bio por Scott Yanow
