Dan, Parliament/Funkadelic, John Scoeld,<br />

Dennis is known for his ability to perform<br />

– but he is perhaps most noted for his jazzfusion,<br />
funk, and Latin music playing.<br />

celebrate half a century of jazz aer the rst<br />
rehearsal at the Wellington Musicians Club<br />

blows my mind, to be very honest about it.<br />

‘drum-off’ featuring three of the world's<br />
greatest drummers - Gregg Bissonette,<br />
