Melbourne Arts - April 2008

CD review - Jake Shimabukuro

It’s no wonder Shimabukuro’s been hailed the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele. His intricate, often speedy, and very diverse ukulele technique continues to push the boundaries of the 4-stringed instrument, and after just a few moments into his third full-length album, it’s easy to see how he came to adopt this reputation. While Shimabukuro’s earlier records have traditionally focused on original material, Gently Weeps consists of a mix between his own compositions and some interesting interpretations of songs such as Chick Corea’s Spain, Schubert’s Ave Maria and George Harrison’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps. The original tunes on the album showcase Shimabukuro’s vast variety of playing styles ranging from delicate ballads such as Wish on My Star to upbeat flamenco inspired songs like Let’s Dance to make this a well-rounded package with vast appeal.
