1990-96 with Mel Torme. He is a member of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and is a frequent guest on Smithsonian concert stages, in addition to touring internationally and throughout the United States.
Ken Peplowski’s recent CD on the Koch label was recorded live in the UK and, intriguingly, shares much the same title as Redd’s: a two-disc recording, it is called “All This . . . and Heaven Too!” Like Redd, Peplowski is a firm favorite among the Theatre’s jazz afficionados.
Noted New York Times music critic John S. Wilson has called Peplowski "a clarinetist with a Benny Goodman tone and a Buddy DeFranco style.” Peplowski was a member of Goodman’s working orchestra and that must have been influential. The late Mel Torme said, “Since the advent of Benny Goodman, there have been too few clarinetists to till the void that Goodman left. Ken Peplowski is certainly one of those few. The man is magic.”
Known not only for his musicianship but also for the warmth and humor which are associated with his concerts, Peplowski notes that “When you grow up in Cleveland playing in a Polish polka band, you learn to think fast on your feet.”
