Interview - The Adventure Life.org
"Depending on who’s doing the talking and how deep their musical reference points go, Jake Shimabukuro is described as either “the Jimi Hendrix of ukulele” or “the Eddie Van Halen of ukulele”. It’s a simple way to wrap your head around the magic that transpires between Shimabukuro and this small, four-string instrument–and a lot stronger sales pitch than “guy alone on stage with ukulele”. Flattering and true as references to guitar legends might be, it doesn’t do Jake justice."
