Kenwood Dennard's 2001 Schedule Diary!

Well Diary this is the first moment I've had to reflect on how my tour of Italy went with the Gil Evans Orchestra... It was ground breaking, excellent! Historic. Deep bonds of friendship were strengthened new friends were made. New gigs old gigs good money good food... I still have homework on the homestead, but this is an incredible time for me. What a nice gig.

I love blues and I love Marvin Gaye. Had a ball. Dennis Montgomery deserves mention. He thoroughly and without shame destroyed his Hammond organ and sang his butt off. :-)
07/12/01 Travel to Holland with Gil Evans Orchestra.
07/13/01 Performance at the North Sea Jazz Festival. This gig was incredible. I saw an old friend who I haven't seen in ten years. Played with Danny Gotlieb for the first time together. We both accommodated each other and I told him I experienced the impression that he and I are long lost brothers separated at birth. Originally I thought two drums might not be fun, but it was indeed loads of fun. Musically we both know the music of Gil Evans intimately. We were willing to listen to each other and we developed much wonderful material over time. We did an interview together, too. I learned of his close relationship with Joe Morello and We both learned of the difference between the Moeller technique and the Woodstroke technique which I developed.
07/14/01 Performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Peruggia. Incredible (3) night after night we developed new stuff and each night was a gem in its own right. I taught Danny the woodstroke... the rhythm. Danny and Beth and Kenwood had a ball jogging.
07/15/01 Performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Peruggia Beth Goottlieb taught me the "cheese" a flam followed by a paradiddle diddle. I had fun using it as part of the Wood stroke.
07/16/01 Performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Peruggia Had fun in Perugia eating delicious free food each day at the hotel Sangallo! Learned the way to walk to the Teatro Pavone. Had fun with Enzo the road manager. His nick name is "The Bear".
07/17/01 Performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Peruggia at one point Beth came up and played the entire evening with us . She is a wonderful percussionist.
07/18/01 Performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Peruggia Had a ball in the Piazza and by the Fountano Maggiore. My friend in L.I. took pictures of me on the webcam which was set up for public use on www.umbriajazz.com Mark Egan has several interviews and photos on that website.
07/19/01 Performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Peruggia.
07/20/01 Performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Peruggia. I will miss Perugia, but guess what? I have my own solo dates in July of 2002 in Perugia! Cool, huh? yaaay .It's a 33 year dream coming true. MRO lives! :-)
07/21/01 Travel ...tba.
07/22/01 Performance in Italy Pescara landscape was incredible...very hilly very beautiful. Delmar Brown played his butt off despite equipment problems.
07/23/01 Travel.
07/24/01 Performance in Bologna. We had a great gig despite weather problems. It started raining. I prayed hard on the stage for the rain to stop and for us to have a great show. Eventually it happened- and many many people patiently waited. We performed entirely acoustically. None of the electronics were useable including electric bass or synths. Gil Goldstein played accordion. Danny and I played drums and percussion. The horns sounded magnificent.
07/25/01 Performance in Bassano. This last gig was up to high standard. The ending was fun. Miles Evans asked me to end off the show with a drum solo. So I listened carefully to the audience's clapping and played along with their tempo. I wound up singing and playing Cloudburst" by John Hendrix as a funky fast go-go piece.
