Ken Peplowski was here this last summer at the Stanford Jazz Festival. He currently is play with Bucky Pizzarelli in NYC. Come here what he has been up to.
From his bio:
The late Mel Torme´said, “Since the advent of Benny
Goodman,there have been too few clarinetists to fill
the void that Goodman left. Ken Peplowski is most
certainly one of those few. The man is magic. “The New
York Times pronounced a concert of Ken’s “Goodman
Straight Up, With A Twist Of Lightning. “These quotes
only hint at Ken Peplowski’s virtuosity – not only is
he an outstanding clarinetist and saxophone player, but
he’s also a charismatic entertainer who has been
delighting audiences for over 30 years with his
warmth, wit, and musicianship.
