Over the past two decades, Jake Shimabukuro has proved that there isn't a style of music that he can't play. While versatility for any musician is impressive, what's remarkable about Shimabukuro's transcendent skills is how he explores his seemingly limitless vocabulary, whether it's jazz, rock, blues, bluegrass, folk, or even classical, on perhaps the unlikeliest of instruments, the 'ukelele
Responding to urgent calls of his fervent imaginations, the Hawai'i-born virtuoso has taken the 'ukelele to points previously thought impossible, and in the process he's reinvented the applications for his tiny, heretofore under-appreciated four-string instrument, causing many to call him "the Jimi Hendrix of the 'ukelele."
In this concert, Jake Shimabukuro will be joined by Henry Capon and Jeff Peterson.
