Conte is one of the greatest trumpet players of all times. His solos are fantastic and full of feeling.
Right!
Wonderful interview. Monk Rowe's all too rare genius is to do his homework, ask a few good questions, and shut up until his subject has run out of gas. Which, thanks to the great questions, is often 10-15 minutes later! And Conte is a great subject.
It takes a special gift to realize that these icons need to be interviewed for posterity. Hats off to Monk Rowe!
What an amazing interview - the history of west coast jazz by one of the most loved musicians of that period.
Conte was just a fantastic Person and one of the best jazz trumpet Players ever !
and still my all time favorite :-) jazz trumpet Player !

@Ibrahim Alvin it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
Played with him on my first gig with Shelly Manne in North Hollywood...way back in the 50s. Great sound..beautiful West Coast music!
Was working in Vegas years ago and got to meet him at a session.
He and Don Menza were the front line.
It's cool when you get to meet one of your heroes..
Love this! I've been listening to Conte Candoli my whole life. One of the first albums I ownded was "Toot Sweet" with Bill Holman, and I forget who the rhythms section was; Stan Levy on piano, I think. Another one of my first albums". The Pasadena Concert with Charlie Ventura and Conte on trumpet. I didn't understand bebop then, but I had grown to love the sound of it.
It was great to hear CC talk about all his experiences in the jazz world and all the people he worked with, so mega thanks for posting this.
You are very welcome, there is also a session with his brother Pete on our channel. You might enjoy our podcast, “Jazz Backstory,” based on excerpts from these interviews. It is available on major podcast providers. Monk
I think Conte is one of the greatest bebop players of all time on any instrument
I agree with you 100%.
I spent a week transcribing his solo on "Four" from the West Coast Jazz album he did with Stan Getz. Still have it. Can't play a lick. The guy has been a favorite of mine for fifty years. Thanks for this great post. His work with terry Gibbs big band wasn't mentioned. Too bad.
Great to hear about all of his experiences on different jobs and changes going on through the decades.
This interview needs to go into the National Archives/Library Of Congress.
Monk has that rare gift of being a great listener- as another commenter noted, he asks a thoughtful question and then gets out of the way bringing out the best in his interview subject.
chris dennehy agree
RIP always one of the Great Trumpeters seemed so cool.
such a big sound...such a big heart
exactly - one of the best sounding trumpeters in jazz ever ! And one most swinging ones too
Beautiful Interview!Thank you SO MUCH for Sharing this!
Man, What a fascinating interview! This was such a great discussion and sooo miss this era of Music! I wish it was 1945 all over again!!! Great job Monk, keep em coming please!
Thanks for this fine interview
One of my favorite trumpeters. My Dad had an album that Pete and Conte did together years ago (1950's) that I recall was great, I haven't seen any modern versions of it, however.
I always wished I could have seen him play or met him before he died. He seems like a nice guy. One of my trumpet hero's ! Also, I think the interviewer did a great job!
A great interview.. I wish I could have played with him. I am a seasoned jazz bassist.
"I could read music but not too well."
Reminds me of the quote;
"I can read a little bit, but not enough to hurt me none."
Forget where I heard that, but never forgot the saying.
Edited: Just looked it up, Louis Prima ~ "The Lip."
Knew I heard it somewhere.
Yes, and then there's "I can sort of spell music but can't read it very well". Monk
Jazz history. Great 😊👌👌👌 interview
Brilliant interview i remember his quartet in mid 50s Stan Levey drums Lou Levy piano nass Leroy Vinnigar bass
Amazing interview and documentation. What a find this channel is. Thanks!
Great video ! Thanks ! m
Conte was an absolutely great artist in the bebop tradition. And I don’t care if he is white. I know and spoke with black jazz musicians who accused white people of stealing their music and making money off of it, but, truth be told; white people could be intimidated by black people over the guilt thing about racism. I say, we are all Americans and let’s share. Art Blakey said years ago that jazz is as American as apple pie.
Lol, "I never played really high notes."
C'mon man, we know better than that.
