Toshiko Akiyoshi Booking Agency Profile

Book Toshiko Akiyoshi for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Toshiko Akiyoshis unique contributions to the jazz world have evolved like falling dominoes through a series of events that started with a piano-loving little Japanese girl in China and brought her to prominence as an unparalleled pianist, composer and leader of the Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra. Toshikos recordings have received a total of 14 Grammy Award nominations. Manchurian-born Akiyoshis interest in the piano started at age six, by the time her family had moved back to Japan at the end of World War II. Toshiko had developed a real love for music. She soon began playing piano professionally, which eventually led to being discovered by pianist Oscar Peterson in 1952 during a Norman Granz Jazz at the Philharmonic tour of Japan. On Peterson recommendation, Toshiko recorded for Granz, and not long after, she went to the U.S. to study at the Berklee School of Music in Boston.Her years in Boston, and later on in New York, developed her into a first class pianist. Her interest in composing and arranging came to fruition when she moved to Los Angeles in 1972 with her husband, saxophonist/flutist Lew Tabackin. The following year they formed the world-renowned big band that is now known as the Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra featuring Lew Tabackin..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Toshiko Akiyoshi to perform.

Will Toshiko Akiyoshi do a virtual event?
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Toshiko Akiyoshi in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Toshiko Akiyoshi or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Is Toshiko Akiyoshi available to work my event?
Toshiko Akiyoshi's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Toshiko Akiyoshi for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Toshiko Akiyoshi, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Toshiko Akiyoshi. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
How much is Toshiko Akiyoshi charging for events?
CTI can give you the accurate Toshiko Akiyoshi booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Toshiko Akiyoshi for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Toshiko Akiyoshi booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Toshiko Akiyoshi charge for an event. An example fee to book Toshiko Akiyoshi is in the starting range of $7,500-$14,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
How do I contact the Toshiko Akiyoshi agent or manager?
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Toshiko Akiyoshi agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Toshiko Akiyoshi manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
Can I book Toshiko Akiyoshi for an event at a price less than shown?
There is low probability to book Toshiko Akiyoshi for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Toshiko Akiyoshi agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Toshiko Akiyoshi, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Toshiko Akiyoshi booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Toshiko Akiyoshi, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
