- From the Tonight Show. The playing is great, of course, but there is a moment where Pete Fountain actually does a lip trill (a trick normally saved for trumpet players)!
Love this❤
Back in the late Eighties, I stopped in two years back to back at Pete's Place at The New Orleans Hilton. Ninety minutes of non-stop, transcendent world class musicianship both times. An indescribable talent. So glad I got to see Pete. God rest his good soul.
Forever, the GREAT Pete Fountain. Doc and Pete in a great Tonight Show display.
Hello 2 Absolutely Wonderful musical Artist Thanks ❤
Pete was a 2nd Cousin. I never got to meet him and it saddens me to this day. 3 days after his death I received a Clarinet. Thank You Cousin Pete.
This brought tears to my eyes.
I never saw Pete live (I've been a rocker all my life but love all types of music), but I spent three years in New Orleans (I'm from Chicago and now reside in Wisconsin) and had the pleasure of running across him in the streets there twice. I simply said "Hi Pete!" both times, and both times he said HI back. I was a huge Carson fan growing up from the time I was 15 in 1968, and saw Pete on there numerous times over the years. That's why I'm here!
Pete and my Pop shared same birthday to year...Long story, became friends. Before I was old enough to get in club, Perw would let me hang out in his office during show...When I was twelve or thirteen, before show, Pete had me put on fake mustache and tails, took me onstage and introduced as, "tonight's musical arranger. " Great fellow, lovely, kind man.
That's quite a story! Thanks for sharing!
I remember watching this very show with my mom. It is one of the all-time highlights of the Tonight Show.
I heard a song earlier and reminded me of Pete Fountain❣️Loved him❣️
I grew up with big band music. My Dad played with Duke Ellington in Africa during WWll. Not as a regular but he got to play with him. In the late 60's Doc played with our high school band, Los Alamos High School and I got to spend time with him as did the whole band. Truly a wonderful experience.
Nice story. Thanks! As a lifelong rocker (even as a full-time musician for couple years), I really have enjoyed and loved all sorts of music from folk to rock to new age to Cajun and Klezmer, etc, etc, etc. Good music is good music. But I think the music I like the best besides modern rock and even modern jazz... is big band. I can totally see myself living in that era, and even seeing Sinatra and other greats singing in front of these awesome big bands. That music thrills my soul.
@@PlanetRockJesus I agree, there is great music of every genre. It is too bad that some close off their minds to the fantastic jazz we were lucky to get from Doc and the band.
Yeah Baby...Nawlins own homeboy....stirs my ever-loving soul!
This is REAL Music ❤😊🎉❤❤❤❤
Great players! Classic Song for about a century!
Fantastic! Two masters.
Magnificent
So glad I found this. I watched this when it was first on TV back in the 80s (I believe - maybe the late 70s). I remember thinking how Pete seemed to be smiling as he was playing while Doc looked like he was working really hard. Seeing it after all these years, the difference isn't as great as I remember, but Pete does seem to have more fun. Of course, since I'm a clarinet player, I have no bias, right?
I saw Pete palay several times. When he hit a particularly hot improv lick, he smiled, around the O"Brien clarinet mouthpiece....and kept playing.
Doc complimented Pete perfectly leaving him plenty of room because who knows where Pete wants to go when he’s cooking -
Thanks for bringing this gem to us. Thank-You!!!
Excellent!! Thanks for posting!
The best
Great upload, David! Thank you very much!
Doc could play the blues dad!
The Getzen Eterna is an underrated Trad trumpet lol
It’s all been said before. How can you improve on perfection?👍👍
I knew Doc was a good musician...but you can BET the prepared just a lil harder than week before Pete came to town in L.A.....who wouldnt???
Miss my clairenet. Played as good as pete.
Wish I had some lungs like them
The reason he started playing Clarinet was because he had asthma. The Dr. told his Dad to buy him a horn make him practice and it would help.
What year was this???
