Alessandro Penezzi Duo and Ken Peplowski Quartet “An Evening of Clarinet”

The Alessandro Penezzi Duo features the amazing acoustic guitar sound of Alessandro Penezzi and the peerless clarinet playing of Alexandre Ribeiro. Together, the two musicians cover everything from the choro music of their Brazilian homeland to Django-influenced ‘hot jazz’ stylings. Cordos oa Vento is their latest CD. Not since the days of Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw has the music world heard the kind of talent that Ken Peplowski embodies on the clarinet. Steeped in the swing tradition, yet not restricted to any one era, Peplowski’s approach spans the entire evolution of jazz from traditional to contemporary.
