Kenny Davern

Huntington, New York

John Kenneth Davern (January 7, 1935 – December 12, 2006), was an American jazz clarinetist.
Although he was playing mainly in traditional jazz and swing settings, his musical interests encompass a much broader range of styles.
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.
