Additional Notes
Reissue of "At The Jazz Band Ball" released in 1955
The Dukes of Dixieland obviously get a tremendous wallop out of music-making. They have always been able to kick into the ensembles like the liner United States plowing into twenty-foot waves. But it was during the time that they were spark-plugged by the hard-driving, albeit soulful and expressive, clarinet of Pete Fountain that they were in their peak form. Here are The Dukes as they were heard during their finest period—the era when their unbeatable combination of great enthusiasm and enormous ability made theirs one of the truly fine jazz groups of all time.
I just found one at the Goodwill, and it's in great shape-- This music is GREAT! I'm playing it on a Technics SL-D205 with an XV-15 cartridge, and it sounds wonderful. If anyone has a chance to get a records with the Assunto Bros. or Fountain, I strongly recommend it!
