Fast and swinging with Ken Peplowski - AVALON!

The King of Swing, Ken Peplowski performing the repertoire of Benny Goodman and Charlie Christian with the Michel Pastre Quintet in France. A fantastic jazz concert celebrating one of jazz clarinet's greats. A traditional jazz standard : Avalon.

“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.”
(Mel Torme)

Ken Peplowski presents a remarkable tribute to one of the greatest icons of jazz history. An unmatched virtuoso of the clarinet, consumate showman and raconteur Ken has performed all over the world to enthusiastic audiences. Whether it be in the big band or small group format Ken delivers an exciting and entertaining show which conveys a sincere love of the music and the man, Benny Goodman. A testament to his prowess on the instrument Ken remains one of the “first call” clarinet players in New York and featured artist at premier jazz festivals including the iconic Newport jazz festival.
