Today I had an opportunity to talk with one of my personal clarinet and saxophone heroes: Ken Peplowski.  In this interview we talk about clarinet and saxophone techniques, jam session etiquette, equipment, being a professional musician, Benny Goodman, and house parties. 

Mr. Peplowski has had an incredible career as a musician with 40 CD's as a soloist and over 400 as a sideman.  Peplowski's career includes playing in a polish polka band as a child, working in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra under the direction of Buddy Morrow, studying with Sonny Stitt, and touring with Benny Goodman.
