Born in Pittsburgh’s Hill District in 1914, Kenny Clarke would go on to help lay the musical foundation for Jazz drumming creating a language that all drummers use to this day. A quintet led by drummer Tom Wendt will be celebrating “Klook”’s life and music by playing some of the songs he recorded over his long illustrious career.
