Jim Valentine sitting in with Pete Fountain in January 1994. I can't tell you how much fun and a thrill it is to sit in with your idol!

  • gosh thats pretty pro man....do you also use the big easy clarinet??? and are they still available to buy??? some places i check discontinued them i need/want one i love jazz clarinet

    thanks

  • I play the Pete Fountain model clarinet from LeBlanc. That model was replaced by the Big Easy model. The horn is a 15mm large bore. Mine also has the articulated G#, forked Bb and gold keys like Pete's. The Big Easy from LeBlanc should still be available, you can also check EBay. As with most clarinets, try before you buy, they all play and feel different from each other, even the same model.

  • Jimmy, you is no slouch on the blower man!

  • Thanks, I really feel I'm playing better now. I just released a CD this past December. If you like Pete's style I'm sure will like my CD. There is more info on my website with sound track samples.

    Thank You

    Jim Valentine

  • @pegcage In answer to this i would say i am a youngster from today and i love Pete Fountain, by far my favourite clarinetist of the time and listening to only a few of Jim Valentines tracks on here and some on his website he is also a well acomplished musician like pete. Keep up the good work :)

  • @GloballE

    I just checked and the 1968 LP is available on EBay.
