Ken Peplowski Trio

When:

September 29, 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Overview

Saxophonist and clarinetist Ken Peplowski is truly one of the virtuoso woodwind players in jazz today, on the world’s jazz stages for many years but always coming up with fresh, new versions of the popular song and jazz standards that have made him so well known.  Peplowski’s early studies were with the legendary saxophonist Sonny Stitt, and his early touring was with the Teddy Wilson Trio and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra led by Buddy Morrow.  He has been a headliner at the Newport Jazz Festival, in Las Vegas venues, many European festivals, and has played soundtracks to numerous Woody Allen movies.  He has collaborated with Cedar Walton, Tom Harrell, Madonna, Steve Allen, James Moody, George Shearing, and many others. This drummerless trio presents Peplowski in an almost chamber music setting, in the style of such historic clarinetists as Benny Goodman, Buddy DeFranco and others. This concert promises to be a kickoff to the Fall 2024 Jazz Room season at the highest level!
