Ken Peplowski feat. Ed Bickert - 'Blame It on My Youth'

I like the combination of Ed Bickert and a tenor saxophone playing romantic standards. The best example is "The Ballad Artistry of Buddy Tate" album, and I also like the two tracks on this channel of Ed playing with Fraser MacPherson a great deal. Ed once backed Zoot Sims at Bourbon Street, and I'd love to hear tapes if any exist. Ed's first Concord album had Scott Hamilton, and is also great. Here's Ken Peplowski with John Bunch on piano, John Goldsby on bass, and Terry Clarke on drums. The album really doesn't need or benefit from having a pianist, but it was produced by Allen Farnham, himself a gifted pianist, and Concord probably wanted a fuller and "safer" band sound for the debut recording of a young mainstream artist they were trying to launch.
