Clarence Penn

Play-Penn

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.
