Comments: 'Ukulele master, Jake Shimabukuro has done it again..


Reviews:August 24,2003 - Honolulu Advertiser: Jake-san, as his fans in Japan call him, is the undisputed 'ukulele king. His second full-length solo uke outing, released in Japan in July, enables him to build on his global success and further expand the appeal of the simple instrument with playing styles that tap jazz, rock, pop, blues, and, occasionally, a hint of Japanese seasoning. Eight tracks are his originals; the covers include "Mrs. Robinson," the Simon & Garfunkel great, and "Fragile," a Sting composition. Chick Corea's "Spain" allows Shimabukuro to venture into Latin/jazz turf in a blink; but the real expressions of his inner feelings come from his tunes including "Wish on My Star," "I've Been Thinking," and "Beat of My Heart." Without words, he communicates volumes.
