Ken Peplowski's virtuosity - not only is he an outstanding clarinetist and saxophone player, but he's also a charismatic entertainer who has been delighting audiences for over 30 years with his warmth, wit, and musicianship. The Harlem Blues & Jazz Band has as its main concept to keep significant side-men of the Classic Jazz Period working and not forgotten. It features Joey Morant-Trumpet, Fred Staton-Tenor Saxophone, Art Baron-Trombone, Zeke Mullins-Piano, Jackie Williams-Drums, Bill Wurtzel-Guitar, and Michael Max Fleming-Bass Special guests will include pianist Ehud Asherie, 22 year old sax phenon Steven Frieder and current Basie Band drummer Marion Felder.
