I went to hear Jake play last night. What an exciting event! He is not only a fabulous Ukulele player, but a very nice young man. How refreshing to find true humility, kindliness, and exceptional talent in one individual. He kept me on the edge of my seat most of the time. He played his signature Kamaka Tenor throughout the show, adding only a couple of numbers, including a rendition of Schubert's Ave Maria, played on an older, Kamaka Baritone White Label. Almost everything he played was up tempo, highly stylized, and strongly syncopated. In other words, very exciting! I came away thinking I need to take another look at the upper end of my fretboard. There seem to be some notes and chords up there that I haven't met yet.
