Kudos from Kaman at 5th Artist Appreciation Party

Best In Show

Kaman Music Corp. (KMC) has made it a habit of showing appreciation to the many artists who play Toca, LP, Gibraltar and Gretsch. This year on February 23, 2008, Kaman once again expressed its gratitude at the Kaman Fifth Annual Artist Appreciation Party held at Center Staging Musical Productions and Rehearsal Space in Burbank, California.

The downbeat came at dusk from a house band comprised of Toca artists Steve Haney, Ernie Becquer and Charlie Chavez, each ramping up the intensity during rousing Latin jazz choruses. Once they had established a festive mood, it was open season for jamming. Among those sitting in were KMC brand artists Kevin Ricard, Forrest Robinson, Luis Conte and Christina Torres, to name a few.

Over one hundred revelers networked with friends and colleagues while mingling with Kaman personnel. All shared ideas with the creme de la creme of the LA scene, and artists spotted at the event included Sheila E., Pete Escovedo, Richie "Gajate" Garcia, Mike Bennett, Slim Jim Phantom, Rafael Padilla, Debra Dobkin, Ndugu Chancler, Tris Imboden, Clayton Cameron and Gabe Falcon. Each artist proudly flies one or more banners from Toca, LP, Gibraltar and Gretsch.

The band played late into the evening, and door prizes were awarded to attendees. The interaction was warm, the vibe jovial. When morning light came over the hills and into the valley, one thing was abundantly clear: Kaman knows how to throw a party!
