Having read some reviews, I wondered what I would think of Jake's current Tour (some folks don't seem to care for the bass accompaniment). While there were a few instances when I wish the bass had less volume, all-in-all I rather enjoyed it. Still, I was happy there were quite a few songs without it, too.
Jake also incorporated a few songs on a 40 year-old Kamaka Baritone that sounded positively lovely. So warm and rich. Someday, I'll have to venture into that path as well.
Compared to when I saw him a year ago play all by himself, I preferred this concert.
Got to meet Jake before the show, too. He was so warm and welcoming. It's pretty neat to meet somebody widely regarded as the very best in the world at something, and yet they exude nothing but humility and appreciation. My buddy had his new Blackbird tenor signed by Jake, too.
A few photos from the event...
