PETE, PLAY THAT CLARINET

🎶 PETE, PLAY THAT CLARINET 🎶 A Tribute to a New Orleans Jazz Legend “Pete, Play That Clarinet” is a joyful musical tribute to the unforgettable sound and legacy of legendary New Orleans clarinetist Pete Fountain. From his early days discovering the clarinet to the jazz clubs of Bourbon Street and eventually stages across America, Pete carried the sound of New Orleans wherever he went. His warm clarinet, unmistakable swing, and love for traditional jazz helped introduce generations of listeners to the music of the Crescent City. With a lively Dixieland arrangement featuring clarinet, trumpet, trombone, piano, upright bass and that wonderful New Orleans second-line spirit, this song celebrates not only Pete Fountain, but the city and musical tradition he loved. The musician may someday leave the bandstand, but the music lives on. 🎵 “Down in New Orleans tonight, You can almost hear him yet— That sweet old Crescent City sound... Pete, play that clarinet.” Here’s to Pete Fountain, the clarinet he made sing, and the New Orleans jazz sound that will never grow old. 🎶 PETE, PLAY THAT CLARINET Song & Lyrics by Ed Pichon #PeteFountain #NewOrleans #NewOrleansJazz
