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
