Peplowski has released a string of highly regarded small group jazz and standards albums, including 1993's Steppin' with Peps, 2001's Sensitive to the Touch: The Music of Harold Arlen, and 2011's In Search Of.... He led a big band on 2018's Sunrise, collaborated with pianist Dick Hyman on 2019's Counterpoint, and brought never-recorded string arrangements originally commissioned by Charlie Parker to life on 2024's Unheard Bird.
