"Ken Peplowski is a clarinet virtuoso, with a tone of such warmth and beauty that it takes only a few bars to create a feel-good atmosphere..." says Bruce Lindsay of All About Jazz. "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" raved the late Mel Tormé.
Peplowski has performed and recorded with all the jazz greats including Mel Tormé, Leon Redbone, Charlie Byrd, Peggy Lee, Benny Goodman, George Shearing, Madonna, James Moody, Steve Allen, Woody Allen, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and many more. His sidemen will include John Hart on guitar, Chuck Bergeron on bass and John Yarling on drums. Miami jazz vocalist, Wendy Pedersen, will join Ken as his special guest for this concert.
