| What an inspiration to the world! My husband and I were so privileged to have heard Pete play in Burbank one night in 2002. He was a truly amazing trumpeter with such a sweet soul. Thank you for your music, Condoli brothers! |

| As a little kid, I heard some amazing trumpet work when my older brother played his "Music From Peter Gunn" album. Learned about Pete after growing up, and will always appreciate his many musical contributions. |

Sheryl,
If you have a picture of Kay Rhymes (the high school band Pete Candoli played in during the late 1930s when he went to Mishawaka High School), I would LOVE to have a copy of it! It would mean the world to my family. Thanks so much. |

Thank you for creating/maintaining this site. While I never had the pleasure of hearing Pete live, I've been listening to the Sinatra recordings from when Pete was splitting with Goz...it's just unreal how he came so close to matching Goz...a true mark of an incredible musician. I'm certain his example will continue to inspire all of us and those in future generations who are striving for that level of musicianship. Cheers!

| Yes, I have a photo of that band. I will try to come up with it and scan it for you. All the boys look so cute and serious. Please email me your address Barbara. I think this is the time frame you are talking about. It is Candoli, not Condoli by the way. :-))..I hope you have enjoyed the site. Have a Happy 2012 everyone. It has been four years on Jan 11 that my guy passed. |

| In the late 1930s in South Bend, Indiana, my father, Casimir Dzikowski had a big band called Kay Rhymes that played for area high schools. He used to brag that Pete Condoli was in his orchestra. Would you happen to have any info at all about this brief period in Mr. Condoli's life? (My father passed away in 2001.) |

You won't know me but I always just loved Pete and Conte and their sensational trumpet playing. Sorry to hear that Conte is no longer around. Back in the 60s'70s I dabbled with modern jazz trumpet, an idiom I love. Thanks for all the great playing, always an inspiration to me.

Dear friend Uan Rasey passed away yesterday evening. Uan was a great trumpet master, a beautiful person, and a dear friend of Pete's from the Indiana days. I will miss our talks since Pete died. He and his wife were wonderful to me. She died right after Pete. Uan had great courage and wisdom.

Man what a drag just barely getting over Conti's death. It is sad to hear Pete has also passed. Two great guys and in the pocket players. I played drums with both Pete and Conti several times. Many times at the EL CHAPULTEPEC in Denver Co. I remember the night my wife cooked up a great Sicilian dish dinner Clam Sauce and Linguini and we all ate up a storm at Conti's Hotel when we played together in Denver Co. I miss both of these brothers very much. The world of jazz is losing all of the greats. Sure there is the Artist everyone else is just the Copyist. Sadly missed
