Our Take

Ah, PETE FOUNTAIN, you quirky King of New Orleans Jazz, how you delight and confuse us with your irresistible charm and perplexing clarinet skills. King Of New Orleans Jazz is a delightful romp through the jazz landscape, reminiscent of a boozy night in the French Quarter, complete with brass bands, bawdy tunes, and plenty of soul.

Fountain's clarinet skills are on full display, weaving in and out of melodies with a precision that is both impressive and slightly unsettling. The album kicks off with the rollicking "When The Saints Go Marching In," setting the tone for a wild ride through the streets of New Orleans.

But don't be fooled by Fountain's jovial exterior - there is a darkness lurking beneath the surface of King Of New Orleans Jazz. Tracks like "St. Louis Blues" and "Basin Street Blues" reveal a melancholy side to Fountain's playing, showcasing his ability to convey deep emotion through his music.

Overall, King Of New Orleans Jazz is a testament to Fountain's enduring legacy as one of the greats of New Orleans jazz. So grab a hurricane, put on your dancing shoes, and let PETE FOUNTAIN take you on a journey through the heart and soul of the Big Easy. Cheers to the King!
