Album Review
Shimabukuro is the undisputed master of the new school of ukulele playing today, one of the few people capable of pleasing both the traditionalists and the avant-garde within his genre. Thanks to this, and his stunning virtuosity on the instrument, there's been a fair amount of press about his versatility and abilities in general. This album, by itself, shows what the press is about. Despite the sonic limitations of the ukulele's small body and string count, he casually starts out with smooth jazz and some Paganini (one of his specialties), most of which is done with minimal accompaniment. After making Celine Dion's piece de resistance enjoyable for people outside the adult contemporary crowd, he quickly turns his attention to fitting the ukulele into a hard rock piece — surprisingly well. The requisite surf song is thrown in, followed by danceable Latin jazz and some Bacharach, ending on a show of force from a live show. The range of techniques, the range of genres, the range of sonic possibilities for his tiny instrument with its broken limits are all stunning. This album is a must.
Customer Reviews
Ukulele
absolutely amazing, i listen to "close to you" every morning after getting out of the shower, theres something about it that makes me have a better day, some of the most amazing songs redone by a ukulele master...
Brilliant!
This is the first ukelele artist I've ever really liked. I mean, I like the dude that did Over the Rainbow - but this stuff is just amazing. If you like guitarists like Brian Hughes, Earl Klugh or George Benson then you'll like this. Just think of it this way - Minus the jazz or classical guitars and put a ukelele in its place. That's exactly what this sounds like!
