Ken Peplowski has been one of the most consistent performers in the &new mainstream& movement of the 1990s. Whether playing his fluent clarinet or warm tenor, Peplowski sounds quite comfortable as a creative swing player. As usual, this date with pianist Ben Aronov, guitarist Frank Vignola, bassist Murray Wall and drummer Tom Helito includes a couple more recent tunes (including Thelonious Monk's &Evidence& and originals by Aronov and Vignola), but it is the swing standards (such as &The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else,& &Evenin',& and &I Thought About You&) that are most memorable.
