Alongside an experienced quintet of in-demand jazzmen, he performs impeccable, often virtuosic arrangements of classic songs and authentic jazz styles. Though the music is timeless, it's a rare and enlightening privilege to experience renditions that so deftly balance authenticity with individuality. "Mr. Peplowski sounds the way (Benny) Goodman might if he had kept evolving, kept on listening to new music, kept refining his sound, polishing his craft, and expanding his musical purview into the 21st century." – Will Friedwald in The Wall Street Journal, December 2012 Tonight's show kicks off a four-night series with the Ken Peplowski Quintet, with each evening focusing on distinct themes and artists from the Great American Songbook.
