It's more produced than his other videos, but what a beautiful tune and his playing is fantastic. |

25 Aug 08 - 02:04 PM (#2421887) Subject: RE: Review: Jake Shimabukuro on ukelele From: ClaireBear Kat, it's "Crosscurrent," which I believe Jake wrote. He recorded it on an album of the same name in 2003. However, that was before he started recording his music without using backup musicians, so the CD recording is nothing like the Youtube. Basically, there's nothing like seeing Jake live. I note that he is performing at two venues in Idaho (Hailey and Idaho Falls) early next April -- perhaps he could be persuaded to swing southeast into Colorado then? Also, FYI, I found this info on his Web site (www.jakeshimabukuro.com): World Cafe Broadcast Featuring Jake "The World Cafe will be broadcasting the session on Wednesday, September 10th, 2008. "This episode of the World Cafe features the Philadelphia Folk Festival and spotlights the performances of Jake Shimabukuro and The Felice Brothers. "National Public Radio's World Cafe with host David Dye can be heard on nearly 200 stations nationwide." |

One of my created stations is instrumental folk which brings me lots of Fahey, Kottke and others including Jake. Anyway, today, it played a cut of his called Wish On My Star, which led me to find out he has a CD which you may sample HERE! |
