CD Reviews

Kenny and Ken saved the best for last
Steve Emerine | Tucson, AZ United States | 06/13/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Clarinetists Kenny Davern and Ken Peplowski collaborated earlier on an Arbors album called "KENnections," but this, their second effort for the label, is even better. Davern did some of his best clarinet work on the 10 tunes, which provide more than an hour of music. Peplowski departed from the clarinet on several songs to play some equally good tenor sax. Howard Alden and James Chirillo contribute some fine musical ideas on guitar and banjo, Nicki Parrott is outstanding on bass, and Tony DeNicola keeps great time on the drums. The atmosphere is happy. These artists not only enjoy the music but obviously relish playing together. On the down side, this was the final recording for both Davern and DeNicola, who passed away within four months of each other in late 2006. Thanks to Mat Domber and Arbors for getting them together one more time before they left us. This is an enjoyable CD of fine selections, including "The Diner," which Davern and Peplowski wrote."
