About

Ken Peplowski and Gary Smulyan "Encounters" revisits the 1968 Zoot Sims & Pepper Adams recording of the same name. Considered one of the great hidden gems of jazz and an underrated recording, Peplowski and Smulyan have recreated Encounters to acclaim at recent festivals.

In 2014 pianist Bill O’Connell and The Latin Jazz All-stars released Imagine, “a terrific album.” (LatinJazznet.com) An ensemble of uniquely talented “all-stars” bring style, excitement and that “get up and dance” groove to MCG Jazz in this exciting debut.
