OMG, I was looking through the upcoming events for Yoshi's in Oakland and I was very pleasantly surprised to see Kenny Washington! Used to love Sunday nights at the Etangan Ren on Guam, listening to Kenny jam with Patrick Palomo and friends. Love the voice, and look forward to your next appearance since I can't make it this evening! Yay!

Hey Kenny. I was one of the students in The Sitka Jazz Festival two years ago.

Just wanted to say thanks again for truly influencing my approach to scatting and giving me advice and inspiration that I'm sure few on earth could have been able to give in the extent that you managed to.

Hope you're rocking harder than ever, and that all is well. Keep up the amazing stuff.

Kenny : So nice to hear a fellow male jazz singer . I am too a singer from Ottawa Canada . I have been singing for about 7 years and really would like to get to the postion you are as a singer . Often it seems like the male jazz singer is a rare bird . Like you I sing standards and is a pleasure to hear your approach to the songs . Would love to talk shop some time . I gig about twice a month and have a regular day job.
Looking forward to hearing from you .

You can check me out on Myspace .

Hey Kenny,
Just had to drop a line and tell you how blown away I am with your CD I got at Nich's house party last weekend! I've been playing it all week and have shared it with everyone I come in contact with. We had a Seattle Jazz Campers brunch today and you were the topic of conversation. Those of us who were fortunate enough to hear and see you feel really blessed. You must come back soon!

I've been practicing scatting with your "All Blue". Don't think I'll ever get to where I'm comfortable scatting at a gig but it gives me a reason to listen to your arrangement over and over again. You've won me over....course I was there the minute you opened your mouth last weekend.

Looking forward to having you in the great NW again real soon.

November 24, 2009

I just saw Kenny Washington for the first time in Auburn, WA; guest of JazzVox concerts and OMG... he was fabulous... I bought the CD and have played it 4 times in a row already here at work. What a find.. can't wait to hear more. Thank you Kenny for your talent.

Kenny- I was one of the screaming wild mob that descended upon you at the Red Dragon Jazz Bar in Honolulu last week- and I have been spreading your name all over the NY-NJ musician scene ever since I returned home to NJ from my vacation, a vacation that was fortunate to have overlapped yours as well. What serendipity to stumble upon such talent- you have the "soul" of at least 6 people. I will never tire of your sound... and I hope to meet you again soon!

Bill Cook

July 6, 2009

Heard you with Sandino
at Dragon Upstairs in
Honolulu. OUTSTANDING !

Kenny Plummer

May 16, 2009

Man, after hearing you for the very first time on FM 88.1 jazz out of Long Beach one day at work, you instantly became my new 'one of best jazz singers and friend'. You're up there with my other favorite male singers like: Arthur Prysock, Lou Rawls, Donny Hathaway, Al Jarreau, Nat King Cole and Freddie Cole to name a few. You are definitely a 'force to reckned with'. Come to FLORIDA soon!!!

Luzette Stevenson

May 13, 2009

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT YOU ARE WONDERFUL, GREAT, I'M TRYING TO GET MY SISTERS, OUT TO HEAR YOU SING.
YOU WILL BLOW THEIR MINDS. THEY LIKE THE TYPES OF MUSIC YOU PUT OUT.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

Wow, Kenny your new CD is simply bananas! Love it. I hear you are from the Bay Area. I'm a gospel vocalist who would love to study jazz and incorporate jazz into what I do. Any good jazz vocal coaches you'd recommend in the Oakland / San Francisco Bay Area?

Hi Kenny! Chuy played Oleo the other day, smokin! That arrangement ends with
Straight No Chaser, as i recall. Am anxiously waiting to get my hands on your new Live at Anna's record. Also, do yourself a favor, and go in to your control page of HostBaby, and make the setting where they will send you an email every time somebody signs your guestbook. That way you can intercept all the junk, before it hits your guestbook - you've got some housecleaning to do now!

Robert Volberg

April 1, 2008

Hey Kenny-
Congrats on your NYC performances!! I read the full Sun review, and I'm sure you really were an 'important addition' to the lineup. I was happy you came by Angeline's Louisiana Kitchen to celebrate on the way home from the airport! You needed some good down-home cookin' to get your feet back on the ground, I guess. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming performance.

Robert

I saw you perform in San Francisco last week. I am not a jazz fan but I was with a party that love the genre. Just had to let you know that I really enjoyed the gig. Your version of Dock of the Bay was sensational. Love to see you in Australia. You could help me get into jazz.

MSgt Craig E. Stevens

February 7, 2008

Hey Kenny, it was an extreme honor to watch you perform and to have you perform with the Greatlanders Band! I'm sorry we did not get to do more with you in Sitka, but now that we have met we can always make something happen in the future. I will try to order some of the CDs you are already featured on but I will be waiting to hear the Kenny Washington CD when it's realesed.

Continued success in music and life,

Sincerly,

Craig

Kenny,

You inspire me. Your vocals are amazing, your creativity is limitless, and your sense of humor warms my soul. It seems that I run into you from time to time - I heard you sing in Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Francisco, and San Jose (most recently at the Orff conference).

I can't wait to see you again, and this time I'll bring my family. Will you be performing in the bay area in January or February?

Another one of your admirers

September 6, 2007

Dear Kenny: Another performance that was "way over the top"--I don't know how you are able to always blow away the audience!

My husband and I first heard you at Pearl's and then other places after that. We even sat in the middle of Fillmore St., during one of the street fairs, before they brought out the chairs. And, much to my disappoinment, only discoved you twice on Fillmore at the end of your set. Please let me know when and where you're singing in SF.Thank you.

Cousin I am so very proud of you and the body of work you've shared with us over the years. I also want to thank you for inspiring me to play sax those many, many years ago which in turn led to my career as a music educator. I remember those back yard jams with Harry and Big Al like it was just yesterday. I pray that you continue to let God use you and your fantastic voice to inspire many others to live, love, and enjoy His wonderful gift to humanity..the music. By the way, don't forget that you are a saxman too!! Luv you man,
Brian
