King of Swing at Winnipeg Art Gallery

About

Benny Goodman was definitely the King of Swing, but clarinetist Ken Peplowski is standing tall in the shadow of his royal legacy. In fact the late Mel Torme said, “Since the advent of Benny Goodman there have been too few clarinettists to fill the void that Goodman left. Ken Peplowski is most certainly one of those few”. He not only mirrors Benny’s tone and virtuosity, but for well over 30 years this charismatic entertainer has been delighting audiences with his warmth, wit, and musicianship.
