I saw him play at a Jazz festival in downtown Detroit about 42 years ago. I went with some high school friends who played the clarinet. I had no idea who he was.

Rest In Peace, Pete
I met Pete Fountain at his place in New Orleans many years ago
He was a great guy. One on the best

R.I.P Mr. Fountain!
Every clarinet player in the world wanted to play as well as he did - few were able to!
I sure did! But couldn’t even get close!
It was fun trying, though!

Sweet music. Classy player. I was lucky to see him a few times when I was in college in NO.

Rest in Peace, Pete. I'm sure the Second Line for this funeral will be world-class.
I used to see Pete out fishing sometimes at Bay St. Louis. He had a fast-food joint up on Highway 90 for a while there in Mississippi, too. He was often there when not in New Orleans.

When I lived in N.O. I used to see Pete Fountain cruising through the crowds of Mardis Gras like a pied piper with an entourage. His personal parade was called Pete Fountain and his half-fast marching band. RIP, Pete.

He had a hotel in Biloxi for a time and would play in the bar there periodically. I got to see him a couple of times. The crowds were small. We lost Acker Bilk recently also.
