Release Notes:

Though some still have trouble pronouncing his last
name and the instrument he plays, Jake Shimabukuro
(she-ma-BOO-koo-row) is recognized as one of the
world's most exciting and innovative ukulele
(oo-koo-LAY-lay) players and composers.

Jake's latest release is Live, his first full-length
CD since 2006's best-selling Gently Weeps. After
taping dozens of U.S. and overseas performances Jake
chose these tracks as representing "the best of the
best" of his live playing. Every track reveals a
different side of the ukulele: soft and sensitive at
times, other times cheery and playful, occasionally
dramatic, and, once in a while, hard and aggressive.
The 17-song CD, released on April 14, includes 12
Shimabukuro originals (Nine versions of his
best-known compositions, plus four brand-new tunes)
and five covers (including a jaw-dropping version of
J.S. Bach's "Two-Part Invention No. 4 in D Minor";
an amazing interpretation of "Thriller," the Rod
Temperton song made famous by Michael Jackson). Of
course there's a live version of George Harrison's
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" which might be Jake's
best-recorded version yet!
