Ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro has taken the four-string, two-octave instrument to places no one has gone before, performing awesome music that ranges from jazz, blues and rock to bluegrass, classical and folk. His live concerts are a blend of stunning virtuosity, deep musicality and a born entertainer's flair. Jake was hooked on the Uke at an early age, and soon he was playing regularly at a local cafe. Fast- powered several years and Jake.
