KENWOOD DENNARD'S THE REAL THING
with a pre-show performance
by the Otter Valley Union High School Jazz Band

FRIDAY 10 MARCH
7:30 PM

Since graduating magna cum laude from Berklee School of Music in 1976, drummer Kenwood Dennard has enjoyed a multifaceted, star-studded career as a performer, recording artist, and educator. He's led the Meta-Funk All-Stars, the Real Thing, and Quintessence, and has toured the world with such greats as George Clinton, Chick Corea, Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock, Whitney Houston, and Joe Zawinul. Dennard's numerous recordings include Sting's Nothing Like the Sun (1987), Vanessa Williams's The Sweetest Days (1994), and Live at Montreux (1992) with Miles Davis and Quincy Jones. Prior to joining the Berklee faculty in 1996, he was a teacher-in-residence at both New York University and Long Island University, and an adjunct professor of free jazz at the Aaron Copland School at Queens College. Dennard has also taught a vast array of clinics, workshops, master and private classes, and ensembles across the globe.

The evening will begin with a pre-show performance by the Otter Valley Union High School Jazz Band under the direction of Pat Roberts. As part of Crossroads' Arts in Education program, Dennard and his band will conduct a master class with the OVUHS Jazz Band earlier that day.
