Last Friday, Kenny Endo’s agent told me that she had been contacted by a number of organizations that wanted to have him perform based entirely upon my entry about his performance.
I really appreciate the confidence you have shown in my recommendation of his skill and the overall quality of the show.
The agent also said the inquiries were for the specific performance I had with Kenny Endo and Kiyohiko Semba. I don’t blame you, of course. But apparently they hadn’t made any plans to get back together in the next year.
I took advantage of an email from Kenny’s wife today to include a pitch to get the band back together in my reply. No guarantees, but I figure the more people ask, the better a chance they will organize a tour in the next few years. In the meantime, as I said at the end of my entry, Kenny’s shows easily stand on their own and he is adept at collaborating with diverse performers.
