My father listened to Pete Fountain when I was young so I am very familiar with his music. Though I am not a fan of Dixie music I do like his clarinet playing. This CD is more classics and the playing is wonderful. A good buy.

If you've bought Pete Fountain's CD's with him performing live, especially in the 60's and 70's, you heard pure Pete at his best. I have been searching for a CD version of an album with "perfida" and some equally beautiful selections. However, Pete Fountain's "A Touch of Class" is equally remarkable. He's still pretty terrific Now (see him in New Orleans to get the full experience). Pete loves the audience and it shows when he performs. Each note has his signature kiss. (okay, I'm getting a bit carried away, but it happens when I hear Pete Fountain)
