Sunday Jazz Nights at Hamilton Studio continue with a special double feature on October 12 with special guest, Ken Peplowski!"Ken Peplowski is arguably the greatest living jazz clarinetist" according to the BBC. Ken will be performing with both Zonky Jazz Band and the Red Hot Kitten Stompers at Hamilton Studio in a special evening event. (Be sure to check out the matinee with Hot Club of Spokane as well)
In 1980, Ken moved to New York City,and was soon playing in all kinds of settings, from traditional to avant-garde jazz. “Everything’s a learning experience in jazz music – there’s always an element of the unpredictable.” In 1984, Benny Goodman came out of retirement and put together a new band, hiring Ken on tenor saxophone.
Prior to moving to New York, Peplowski met Sonny Stitt while on the road with the Dorsey band, and studied with him. “He was, and is, an inspiration to all of of us who make a living ‘on the road’ – I’ve never heard anybody play with such amazing consistency as Sonny, through all kinds of settings.”
The litany of musicians Ken has collaborated with also includes: Mel Torme, Leon Redbone, Charlie Byrd, Peggy Lee, George Shearing, Madonna, Hank Jones, Dave Frishberg, Rosemary Clooney, Tom Harrell, James Moody, Cedar Walton, Houston Person, Steve Allen, Bill Charlap, Woody Allen, Marianne Faithfull, Isaac Delgado & Erich Kunzel.
Doors open at 5:15pm. Dance lesson at 5:30pm. Concert and dance from 6-8pm.
This is an all-ages event, but for those of legal age with ID, a bar with beer and wine is available. Hamilton Studio also has Charcuterie Boxes on offer at every Hot Jazz Sunday Night.
