With the passing of Brian Wilson, we talked to Ken about Wilson's legacy and genius as well as Ken's passion for the Beatles! Mel Torme once said: “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.” And yes, he is magical both as a musician and a conversationalist with a...2025-06-1718 min

Rabbit Hole Sessions with Abe OvadiaEPISODE 35 - Sheryl BaileyThere's no description more apt for Sheryl Bailey than "A sizzling guitar goddess", coined by Elliot Simon of All About Jazz.

JAZZ по-русскиKen Peplowski • At Mezzrow © 2024 Cellar Live #jazzЗаписанный в клубе Нью-Йорка Mezzerow живой альбом польского кларнетиста и саксофониста Ken Peplowski звучит приятно душевно и с хорошим чувством свинга. Мне понравилось именно звучание его инструментов и хороший подбор композиций.
Большинство стандартов сыграны но новому, с прекрасным изменением не только общих картин, но и ритмов. Например The Shadow Of Your Smile Джонни Мэндела исполняется медленнее, чем обычно и это хорошо демонстрирует эмоциональную глубину пьесы.
Кен встречается на семидесяти альбомах в качестве солиста и на около четырехсот записях в качестве сайдмена, несколько из которых есть на моем канале. Этот альбом нечто выдающееся и на нем представлены шикарные мелодии в исполнении замечательных музыкантов: пианист Ted Rosenthal, басист Martin Wind и барабанщик Willie Jones III.
С первого публичного выступления я понял, что хочу зарабатывать на жизнь музыкой, - сказал лидер и пояснил, что свой первый профессиональный концерт он сыграл, когда еще учился в начальной школе.
Переехав в Нью-Йорк в 1980 году он начал играть в самых разных местах, от традиционного до авангардного джаза. В 1984 году Бенни Гудман собрал новую группу и нанял Кена на тенор-саксофоне. Он подписал контракт с Concord Records и выпустил с ними около двадцати альбомов. Это его кларнет вы слышите в саундтреках Вуди Аллена. Он был хедлайнером в Лас-Вегасе и Hollywood Bowl. Он играл на джазовом фестивале в Ньюпорте и на всех крупных европейских фестивалях. Он сотрудничал с Mel Torme, Leon Redbone, Madonna, Dave Frishberg, Tom Harrell, Bill Charles, Marianne Faithful и многими другими.

JAZZ по-русскиMy World • Diego Figueiredo ©️ 2023 Arbors Records #latinjazzMy World - Мой мир - альбом бразильского гитариста Diego Figueiredo раскрывает его понимание разных стилей, через игру на нейлоновой гитаре и сочинение осознанных произведений про свою жизнь. Виртуозная игра завораживает и показывает его необычные таланты играть мелодии, аккорды, гармонии, басовые партии и соло так, что бы они ласкали слух.
Мне повезло с ним познакомится, когда вышел сборник хитов на альбоме Compilation©️2020, затем мне понравилась его запись Follow the Sighs©️2022. Между ними былa еще одна работа Antarctica©️2021, а общее количество альбомов скоро перевалит за три десятка.
Он родился в 1980 году и с 15 лет покорил сцены более 60 стран мира, выступая как сольный артист, так и в составах разных коллективов. На этой пластинке собраны отличные музыканты в составе основного квартета и два гостя. Все композиции написаны лидером и это заслуживает особого внимания.
Бразилия постоянно взращивает новых звезд, которые удивляют публику своей техникой, радостью жизни и новыми мелодиями.

🎶Выросшие в Мексике, Колумбии и Флориде соответственно, встретились в Университете Южной Флориды в 2006 году. Вскоре они стали лучшими друзьями, а их музыкальный опыт от панка до хэви-метал, и от сальсы до классики, был использован, когда они углублялись в изучение и создание джазовых импровизаций.
🎶Их энергия и культурные корни слились в трио La Lucha благодаря латинским ритмам, заурядным аранжировкам поп-мелодий 80-90х и умением создавать собственные, легко запоминающиеся произведения.
🎶Пятый альбом Everybody Wants to Rule the World включает 5 каверов, по 3 трека написали барабанщик и басист, один пианист и один совместный Blues for Houston Person. Он посвящен джазовому ветерану, который на ряду с другими артистами, любезно принял приглашение дополнить трио:

Free Music Ed PodcastEp.27 Jazz Clarinet and Saxophone w/Ken PeplowskiToday I had an opportunity to talk with one of my personal clarinet and saxophone heroes: Ken Peplowski. In this interview we talk about clarinet and saxophone techniques, jam session etiquette, equipment, being a professional musician, Benny Goodman, and house parties.
Mr. Peplowski has had an incredible career as a musician with 40 CD's as a soloist and over 400 as a sideman. Peplowski's career includes playing in a polish polka band as a child, working in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra under the direction of Buddy Morrow, studying with Sonny Stitt, and touring with Benny Goodman.
