| 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.... |

| Thanks for a great site on Pete and Conte Candoli. They were the best....I heard them many times play together and seperate. I met Pete once at Dontes and he was friendly and made me feel like I was an old friend. I have heard this from others that knew him, he was a great player, and a good guy. |

Fab site for a jazz newbie like me. Currently grooving on Pete's solos on Miss Peggy Lee's "Black Coffee"--damn his work is fine! Thanks so much! |

I will treasure the great memory of meeting and speaking to Pete Candoli at the tribute to Woody Herman held at the Hollywood Forever cemetery in Autumn 2002. |

The Condoli brothers were giants in the jazz world. I dug Conte's work with the Dreamband and also with the incomparable Frank Rosolino. I admired the immense talent both brothers had and they are missed! |

Pete and Conte although they were two of the greatest jazz musicians were also two of the finest gentlemen I have ever met. Regardless of their stature they were always very down to earth and always very frendly. I certainly will miss them here in the Denver area. |

Thanks for a great site..
First became aware of Conte Candoli when I heard him play ''Portrait of Count'' with Kenton.
I saw Pete Candoli,briefly,on a TV show sometime in the '60's.It was called ''Johnny Staccato'' and featured John Cassavettes as a jazz pianist doubling as a private-eye.I got a kick when I saw Pete Candoli! |

I first heard Conte and Pete on the Doobie Brothers "Stampede" Album. They played some trumpet licks on the cut "I Cheat the Hangman" back in 1976. Then discovered the Conte's ties to the Tonight Show. |
