Jake Shimabukuro Ukulele Revolution
Jake Shimabukuro, the virtuoso Hawaiian ukulele player, talks about revolutionizing an instrument often seen as a novelty into a tool of pyrotechnic fury and ambient expanses. His new album, The Jake Shimabukuro Trio is a stylistic shift into more contemplative, ambient terrain that includes a cover of a Pink Floyd song. John Diliberto talks to him and ambient guitarist Dave Preston about the Uke Evolution and their new album on Echoes.

You can stream it from a weekend station that will be running it. I’d suggest WXXI.org Saturday Night at 10PM ET. Or you can stream it right now with a subscription to Echoes On-Line. https://echoes.org/echoes-online/how-to-subscribe/ or you can wait until next Thursday and it will be in the Echoes Podcast.
