Two jazz giants, Ken Peplowski on clarinet and Adrian Cunningham on saxophone, collaborate and swing 12 great tunes.

In the tradition of great musical duos, we present our Duologue CD to you. With the shared talents ofMartin Wind, Renee Rosnes and Matt Wilsonthis is very much a group effort; each musician contributing an original or lesser known work to the project.

A co-leader project is often an opportunity to hear an old favorite in a new context - and perhaps to discover a new favorite musician. Such is the case with Duologue, icon Ken Peplowski's album with multi-instrumentalist Adrian Cunningham, an Australian now living in New York. ''This album's smile-inducing renditions of Duke Ellington's ''I'm Just a Lucky So and So'' and Fats Waller's ''Alligator Crawl'' will be catnip for fans of classic jazz.

DownBeat Magazine July 2018 Editor's Pick

''Jazzbos of a certain age were spoiled by albums by Al & Zoot, Jai & Kai and others of that era that could just toss off great sets no matter what. With Renee Rosnes, Martin Wind and Matt Wilson backing them like a working quintet, this crew fashions a date that's right in the classic vibed pocket. A smashing date for listeners that really want to listen, you can't bring back the past but you can catch lightning in a bottle. Even if you're a whippersnapper, this is as close to the cool, groovy stuff you found cleaning out grandpa's basement after he died as you are going to get. Simply a great record that should be enjoyed by a wider audience than jazzbos.''
