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 underappreciated four-string instrument, causing many to call him "the Jimi Hendrix of the 'ukelele."
