Details

An evening of mainstream jazz at its best with a quintet led by Britain’s Alan Barnes and American visitor, Ken Peplowski. Ken Peplowski is one of the leading artists of America’s Concord label. The New York Times called him ‘a clarinettist with a Benny Goodman tone and a Buddy de Franco style’. He was a member of Goodman’s last working orchestra and has recorded with artists as diverse as Mel Torme, George Shearing and Ruby Braff. Barnes is well known as one of our most popular musicians and has appeared at Warwick Arts Centre on numerous occasions, most recently with his Duke Ellington project and in Arnie Somogyi’s Mingus tribute band.
