Recorded January 19, 2001 in Brooklyn, NY, USA by Max Bolleman Clarence Penn (D) John Swana (Tp / Flh) Ron Blake (Ts) Jesse van Ruller (G) Rodney Whitaker (B)
Penn's Landing, Clarence Penn's debut recording, received copious critical accolades, including a Year's Ten Best from the "New York Times".
On Play Penn, his follow-up, Penn augments the two-horn (Ron Blake, tenor sax; John Swana, trumpet) - two rhythm (Rodney Whitaker, bass; Penn, drums) with Monk Award winner, Dutch guitarist Jesse Van Ruller.
They match the level of the previous record, traversing with incessant swing a broad range of tempos, textures and emotions. |
