So nice to see and "hear" Kenny's name here at TPIN. Brings back nice memories.Ken was a classmate of mine at Berklee before we both entered military service bands. A GREAT lead and fine jazz player all-around and a very nice guy.  Saw him "hold his own" sitting in with Clark Terry once at Paul's Mall. Clark invited me up, too. I knew better.Last I heard Kenny's in Tuscon, AZ "retired" but playing there locally. Any one in touch with him, please let me know. >But, anyone familiar with the Airmen of Note in the '70s and much of the>'80s 
also knows about Kenny Smukal -- excellent in both
