1999 European Tour Diary

Introduction:
This tour diary was written at the request of the "All About Jazz" website and is from a recent European tour done with my band featuring Andrea Parkins on accordion and sampler and Jim Black on drums and percussion. This was our fourth tour of Europe since we began performing in March of 1994. I've edited the diary after the fact so as to make it more readable although I've left the general tone and flow intact so as to reflect my state of mind while originally writing it.
