Dixieland New Orleans Jazz Revival. Clarinet, Primary Artist.
The jazz clarinettist Pete Fountain, who has died aged 86, became a popular musical ambassador for his home city, New Orleans, his easygoing personality and instrumental fluency bringing him considerable acclaim. Happy to split his time between New Orleans, Las Vegas and the television studios in Los Angeles and New York, Fountain never travelled overseas, preferring to pursue his role as a banner-carrier for white Dixieland music while based at home. Fountain and his teenage friends formed the Junior Dixieland Band in 1948 and won an amateur talent contest. A year later he joined the drummer Phil Zito’s popular band, with which he made his recording debut.
