L to R: Reporter Jean-Paul Germonville w/PKQ | Patrick filming a drum clinic at MAI for Batteur Magazine | Patrick Kunka Quartet signing Posters & CDs
Reporting the conclusion of a successful week: I leave you to enjoy a few pics, stories, and even a video from French television, RIV 54. Some stories are currently only available in print, and numerous other unknown stories and pictures from reporters who snuck in and out of performances throughout the week will remain in cyberspace.
Many thanks to Pépin – our road manager for the week, to Keddy – our NJP representative and artist manager, and to Jason Camelio – Director of International Programs @ Berklee and Hans Kullock (of MAI) – the quiet forces behind the scenes who orchestrated the original elements and allowed the chemistry to evolve.

PATRICK KUNKA QUARTET
Patrick Kunka | Leah Gough-Cooper | Dylan Coleman-Tunstall | Alan Benzie
… and finally, below is the Nancy Jazz Pulsations 2009 schedule for the Patrick Kunka Quartet.
Believe it or not, except for the last minute additions noted by an asterisk, this was actually all scheduled in, in a printed and bound document. This is only a SUMMARY of what was in that 21-page document.
Cheers. See you on another international program, soon.
