March 24 - “1001 Arabian Jazz Nights” with Danish pianist/big band leader and Grammy winner Nikolai Bentzon.
The WJO will also explore other exotic classics such as Slide Hampton’s “Go East, Young Man” along with some of the Duke’s Far East Suite.

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.
