5.0 out of 5 stars Super Jazz, Vol. 1: Al Hirt & Pete Fountain, February 2, 2006

Having listened to the complete CD on a long drive this morning, I am blown away by the music here. I fully expected to find multiple glowing reviews here, but found no reviews posted yet.

Both Al Hirt and Pete Fountain deliver superb performances, but this recording is just as much about the musical interactons between them and with the audience. Listening, I felt as if I was attending a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon, one of those where it all comes together musically.

This CD includes wonderful improvisations by Hirt and Fountain. I believe you can't do better than this.

This is a live 1975 recording made at a New Orleans festival called "Super Jazz I".

AFter first purchasing this CD some 15 years ago I found out that my father was actually at the superdome when they performed this fantastic meeting of new orleans' best. If you love Al Hirt and Pete Fountain and you don't have this in your collection, get it now and you will be blown away.

I HAD THIS IN RECORD FORM, PROBABLY WHEN IT WAS FIRST PUBLISHED. WHO KNOWS WHERE IT IS NOW. PETE FOUNTAIN IS A FANTASTIC JAZZ CLARINETIST. I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO GET THIS CD, AND VERY DEVASATED WHEN I TRIED TO PLAY IT. THE CD WAS COMPLETELY BLANK. ON TOP OF THAT, AMAZON WONT SEND A REPLACEMENT ONLY A REFUND. THAT SUCKS.
