Clarence Penn - Play-Penn

Penn's Landing, CLARENCE PENN's debut recording (CRISS 1134 CD), 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 and JOHN SWANA - trumpet), two-rhythm (RODNEY WHITAKER - bass and CLARENCE PENN - drums) with the great Dutch guitarist and Thelonious Monk Award-winner JESSE VAN RULLER. They match the level of the previous record, traversing with incessant swing a broad range of tempos, textures and emotions.
