Jerry McKenzie

American jazz drummer Jerry McKenzie I played with Stan Kenton only from June 1957 to 1959 (quote M. Sparke, p. 157 "This is an Orchestra). Credited as drummer on the Newport July 1957 CD "Stomping At Newport" (Pablo). First CAPITOL session October 8, 1957 for ´the LP "Rendevous With Kenton" (T and ST 932) ----> Sparke / Venudor "The Capitol Sessions" p. 126. The Kenton Orchestra had 2 different drummers with the same name. - first "Jerry McKenzie" - follower "Jerry Lestock" (original name) later renamed as ----> Jerry McKenzie. After divorce of his parents he took the maiden name of his mother. Jerry 'Lestock' McKenzie is NOT an ANV but a different artist. So all credits have been splitted for the correct persons. For both drummers bio and birthdays needed. Read more at http://www.toledoblade.com/frontpage/2001/03/16/Jazz-drummer-Stan-Kenton-paved-my-way.html#vdxwOG2PxVBdpbB5.99
