| A Mishawaka transplant, I heard of 'the brothers' many times from my dad, Walter Bowers, the Mishawaka HS Band director from the late 40s until the 1970s. Tho he never had them in his band, he spoke of following their careers and their roots in Mishawaka. With Marv Wood, the real=life coach of the "Hoosiers" movie, the Condolis carried their roots in Mishawaka to the heights. I'm proud to have known about them and found this website, not to mention all the YOUTUBE samples of their work! Thanks |

| Just curiosity...In 2000 at the Mosciano Jazz Festival, Conte told me about his italian native family from Emilia Romagna. He asked me to search how many Candoli are living in Italy. Well today in Italy we have 136 Candoli, most of them (104) are living on the italian East Coast - Region Emila Romagna. The main point is Forli city,with 104 Candoli. |

| Hi Sheryl,Just to inform you that I have 2 videos of two performances recorded here in Italy. The first one is showing Conte playing in Rome at Villa Celimantana Jazz festival 1999. The other one is with his quintet at Mosciano Jazz 2000. In the second video there is also a short friendly conversation after the concert. I can remember that I sended this videos to Conte's address in 2001, but probably was too late.... If you think I can send you again the videos - of course on my expenses- in this case please let me know an address. Ciao, best hello from Rome Riccardo |

| The Candoli brothers were the best of the best. The Peter Gunn sessions with Pete are as good as it gets. Conte with Supersax, and The Tonight Show Band, these guys were some of the greatest players of the 20th century. My late father, Murray Williams played Alto sax in the Big Band Era with Pete and Conte. |

| I have put up a new video on the music page of Pete and Conte performing "Echo" in a jazz series that was broadcasted in 1981. Please download it and enjoy. Pete loved the site, and this is in honor of both of them. There is very little out there on film of them performing together. This just came out and I have edited just one tune from the video. Pete wrote the tune.... |
