Though clarinetist Pete Fountain has long been a fixture on the New Orleans jazz scene, his greatest notoriety came from his 1957-1959 nationally televised appearances with the Lawrence Welk orchestra leading a small group playing traditional jazz. Fountain, a Benny Goodman disciple who plays the old standards with indefatigable fervor, is a fixture on Mardi Gras day in New Orleans, leading the early morning parade down St. Charles Avenue with his "Half Fast" marching club. As Fountain walks, he plays the numbers on this record that comprise his standard repertoire--"While We Danced at the Mardi Gras," "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans," "Basin Street Blues," "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans," "When the Saints Come Marching in March" and "St. Louis Blues." --John Swenson

Having seen Pete Fountain in concert (before Katrina), I was delighted to see this CD on sale. Was not disappointed! Love the walkin' tempo of "Just A Closer Walk," and the romp of the high energy Dixieland tunes. Will certainly recommend this for lovers of delicious "licorice stick" talent.

I bought the cassette version of this album over 20 years ago. I have purchased several other Pete Fountain cd's since. This is by far the best Pete Fountain CD I have found.

I'm not a jazz afficianado, so I do not know whether there are other clarinetists out there equal to Pete Fountain. I do know that Pete Fountain makes the clarinet sing, talk, grieve, celebrate, exalt, revere, wail, and cry. He takes songs that I know, and moves them to another level.
On this CD (I actually have the audiocasette -- remember those?), the listener gets a good sampler of his best work. "While We Danced at the Mardi Gras" takes one right into the spirit of the ... Read More
