about

"Top 10 Jazz Record of the Year 1998" Jazz Journal International

During the late 1960s Kenny Davern had also taken up the soprano saxophone, and when a spontaneous coupling with fellow reedman Bob Wilber at Dick Gibson's Colorado Jazz Party turned out to be a huge success, one of the most important jazz groups of the 1970s, Soprano Summit, was born. Co-led by Wilber and Davern, both switching between the clarinet and various saxophones, during the next five years Soprano Summit enjoyed a very successful string of record dates and concerts. When the group disbanded in 1979, Davern devoted himself to solely playing clarinet, preferring trio formats with piano and drums. His collaboration with Bob Wilber was revived in 1991, the new group being called Summit Reunion.

In the late 1980s, The New York Times hailed him as "the finest jazz clarinetist playing today".
In 1997, he was inducted into the Jazz Hall of Fame at Rutgers University.
