THIS VIDEO:from ‪http://www.michelleosorio.com‬...Jake Shimabukuro plays While My Guitar Gently Weeps/n……….www.mccarter.org…No event at McCarter last season so electrified its audience as did the Berlind debut of Hawaiian-born Jake Shimabukuro, who has singlehandedly transformed the four-stringed ukulele into an instrument of incredible virtuosity, capable of everything from crunching rock to swinging jazz.  Jake plays everything: pop tunes (like Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody), American songbook standards, and his own lilting originals, with influences ranging from Hendrix to Bach. Jake’s new CD Peace Love Ukulele debuted at No.1 on Billboard’s World Music chart, and you can find him all over YouTube, and in the pages of Time Magazine, which recently devoted a full page to this jaw-dropping virtuoso who has become a one-man army advancing the ukulele cause, leaving awed and dazzled audiences in his wake.
