CD PARTY A FAMILY AFFAIR: Ernie Cruz Jr., left, and family patriarch Ernie Cruz Sr., center, turned out to support the “kids” — Connie Cruz, second from left, Tiffa Cruz Garza and Tiffa’s husband, Imua Garza — as the trio celebrated the release of a precedent-setting four-album box set, “One Right Turn.” The four-hour CD-release party Oct. 19 was held at Gordon Biersch. Ernie Sr. joined the trio and their sidemen for hard-rocking renditions of “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Johnny B. Goode.” Ernie Jr. and John Cruz sat in on the final “hana hou.”

SUPERB WITH THE SYMPHONY: Hawaii-born Sean Kennard chatted backstage with concert headliner Jie Chen, left, and Ellen Masaki Oct. 19 at the Blaisdell Concert Hall. Kennard, a last-minute replacement in the Honolulu Symphony’s “World’s Greatest Piano Concertos” program, dedicated his performance of Grieg’s Concerto for Piano in A minor to Masaki, his first piano teacher. Chen’s exquisite interpretation of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto for Piano No. 2 in C minor earned her a well-deserved and lengthy standing ovation.
