The group came to the attention of Victor Records' West Coast office in Oakland. Victor sent their mobile recording equipment to Portland and recorded Kenin's Multnomah Hotel Orchestra. (These were the first recordings made in Portland.) The records proved to be a success, and subsequently Kenin accepted an engagement at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, continuing to make more sides for Victor Records. He was head of American Federation of Musicians and later was a leader at American Federation of Labor. His work landed him on the master list of Nixon political opponents. Kenin died on July 21, 1970 (en) |
