A native of Mishawaka, Indiana, Pete Candoli was the older brother of Conte Candoli.[1]
During the 1940s he was a member of big bands led by
Pete Candoli and his brother Conte formed a band that performed in the late 1950s and early 1960s[2][3][4] and intermittently from the 1970s to the 1990s.[2][1] In the early 1970s he performed in nightclubs with his second wife, singer Edie Adams.[2][1][3] Heart surgery delayed his career at the end of the 1970s, but he returned to performing at musical festivals and with Lionel Hampton.[2] He reunited with the Woody Herman band for its fifty-and sixtieth anniversary concerts.[2]
Candoli was featured in the cartoon series The Ant and the Aardvark, which used a jazz score for its theme and musical cues.[5]
