KEN PEPLOWSKI and FRIENDS “All the Things You Are.” (From The International All Stars Play Benny Goodman.)
This live performance was recorded in Hamburg, Germany in 1995, with musicians from the US, Sweden, England and Italy. Ken Peplowski’s clarinet is light as a feather and just wonderful. It’s one of my favorite recordings. Howard Alden the guitarist is also in the group and also from the NY-NJ area. The lovely vibraphone performance is by Lars Estrand.
The song, one of the most beautiful love songs, was written by two of the greats: Jerome Kern (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics.)
I think the photo booth that “took” Eileen’s picture was in Coney Island.
