Judy Carmichael interviews Ken Peplowski - Part 2 of 2

Judy Carmichael interviews Ken Peplowski - Part 1 of 2

This episode spans the full spectrum of the cruise industry, from strategic shutdowns to tragic loss at sea. Alaskan Dream Cruises has officially ceased all operations after a review of long-term objectives, highlighting the brutal economics facing small ship operators squeezed between mega-carriers and luxury expedition brands. With just 223 berths across four US-flagged vessels, the fixed costs proved insurmountable against competitors with far greater scale and marketing power.On Norwegian Bliss, the Broadway musical Jersey Boys will officially end its run in February 2026 as NCL pivots away from expensive licensed productions toward rotating variety acts. The move reflects a fundamental rethinking of onboard entertainment ROI, freeing up crew berths and slashing licensing costs in favor of comedians, magicians, and smaller-cast shows.The episode also covers the tragic passing of legendary jazz clarinetist Ken Peplowski aboard Celebrity Summit during a Jazz Cruises charter sailing, plus key port developments including winter storm disruptions in Norfolk, a pulled dock deal in Haines, Alaska, and new homeporting strategies from Carnival and Holland America targeting drive-to markets.

Записанный в клубе Нью-Йорка Mezzerow живой альбом польского кларнетиста и саксофониста Ken Peplowski звучит приятно душевно и с хорошим чувством свинга. Мне понравилось именно звучание его инструментов и хороший подбор композиций. Большинство стандартов сыграны но новому, с прекрасным изменением не только общих картин, но и ритмов. Например The Shadow Of Your Smile Джонни Мэндела исполняется медленнее, чем обычно и это хорошо демонстрирует эмоциональную глубину пьесы. Кен встречается на семидесяти альбомах в качестве солиста и на около четырехсот записях в качестве сайдмена, несколько из которых есть на моем канале. Этот альбом нечто выдающееся и на нем представлены шикарные мелодии в исполнении замечательных музыкантов: пианист Ted Rosenthal, басист Martin Wind и барабанщик Willie Jones III. С первого публичного выступления я понял, что хочу зарабатывать на жизнь музыкой, - сказал лидер и пояснил, что свой первый профессиональный концерт он сыграл, когда еще учился в начальной школе. Переехав в Нью-Йорк в 1980 году он начал играть в самых разных местах, от традиционного до авангардного джаза. В 1984 году Бенни Гудман собрал новую группу и нанял Кена на тенор-саксофоне. Он подписал контракт с Concord Records и выпустил с ними около двадцати альбомов. Это его кларнет вы слышите в саундтреках Вуди Аллена. Он был хедлайнером в Лас-Вегасе и Hollywood Bowl. Он играл на джазовом фестивале в Ньюпорте и на всех крупных европейских фестивалях. Он сотрудничал с Mel Torme, Leon Redbone, Madonna, Dave Frishberg, Tom Harrell, Bill Charles, Marianne Faithful и многими другими.

Non Sequitur Presents! Same Wavelength! “It's not about the music!” Even in the midst of cursed winter travel, pianist Steven Feifke exudes an unmatched level of poise and thoughtfulness. In this episode, we chat about the transformation of unexpected setbacks into intentional successes, Steven's philosophy of the five primary elements of music that inform his approach to writing, and a desolate restaurant gig where the act of miming a jazz pianist just wasn't going to cut it.  FEATURED RELEASE: Steven Feifke “The Role of the Rhythm Section” (2022) Getting to Know: Steven Feifke Bandleader and composer Steven Feifke has been recognized by GRAMMY.com as one of six big band composers pushing the format forwards and heralded a “masterful pianist” by JAZZIZ Magazine.

He is the recipient of the 2020 David Baker Prize in composition from the Ravinia Festival and serves as musical director for the Tony Award Winning actor and singer Santino Fontana. Feifke's compositions and orchestrations have been prominently featured on such hit TV shows as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee on Netflix, Impractical Jokers on TruTV, Animaniacs on Hulu, and Solo. His 2020 big band album “KINETIC” marks Feifke's studio big band debut. Feifke is a member of the faculty at The New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, and has appeared as a guest lecturer/artist at New York University, Yale University, Williams College, Moravian College, Northern Illinois University, and more. Feifke is the Co-Founder of A Step Ahead Jazz, alongside alto saxophonist Alexa Tarantino.

May 25, 1917 is the birthday of another big band clarinetist. His name is Jimmy Hamilton. Jimmy achieved his greatest fame as clarinetist with Duke Ellington for 25 years. I have picked out about six songs from a few cds in my collection that Jimmy plays on. They are a little longer in length but you will still get an idea of what a fantastic musician Jimmy was. Our last clarinetist is from a later generation. His name is Ken Peplowski and he was born May 23, 1959. I have two big band and two combo recordings by Ken on today's show. The Puzzler is back this week so I hope you enjoy part four of our May big band clarinetists salute. Thanks again for listening. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com

In the month of May, several jazz and big band clarinetists were born. Here are some that I know of: Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Jimmy Hamilton, Edmond Hall, and Ken Peplowski, who is still with us. So as I usually do, I will be presenting music by these great players and band leaders. Our first birthday celebration is for Benny Goodman. He was born May 30, 1909. I thought it would be fun to listen to a couple of radio remotes that I have to celebrate Benny's birthday. The first is from 1937 recorded at the Madhattan Room of the Hotel Pennsylvania and the second is from 1936 recorded at the Congress Hotel In Chicago. Happy Birthday Benny.
