A good variety of musical events throughout the month of November.
Hysteric Panic and Angry Frog Rebirth, both Japanese bands, playing at O-West
The good ol’ Glenn Miller Orchestra @ the Orchard Hall
Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin, the classic GRP line-up at Blue Note Tokyo
Blue Note red!
A music bar in Shinjuku that plays music in vinyls and “high-resolution” digital files
Mary’s Blood in-store event at Tower Records Shibuya
A Canadian music showcase at the Oscar Peterson Theatre at the Embassy of Canada
A Canadian music seminar where I was a presenter
Friends at a Danish record label celebrating its 20th anniversary had brought the celebratory wine to Tokyo
Attended an award ceremony at the Brazilian Ambassador’s official residence in honor of Sadao Watanabe, a Japanese saxophone player closely associated with Brazilian music
Rajaton, a Finnish a cappella group, at the Oji Hall
La Famille Bélier, a French film
Benny Sings, a Dutch singer-and-songwriter/producer at Billboard Live Tokyo
Chico & the Gypsies, a French “gypsy” group, at Blue Note Tokyo
The Crunchy Frog wine, Sauvignon Blanc produced and bottled by Charles Smith Wines in Washington, USA
So glad to have heard Rajaton perform live though I missed the first half of their concert due to other commitments.
