		Onstage, Jake performs similar antics—running across the stage, jumping off monitors, using delays, sweeping runs, pedal effects, playing to the crowd—except his weapon of choice is the ukulele, the sedate cousin of the more feral guitar.
		Among the lessons, Shimabukuro realized that he was covering up his playing with effects.

		Gently Weeps is the solo ukulele CD that Jake's fans have been asking for, reflecting the repertoire of the live shows that have been perking ears and dropping jaws worldwide.
		Jake is a very kinetic player live, so in the studio we wanted to free him from the normal studio setup which is being locked down within inches of a microphone.
		JAKE'S RISE TO international fame as been well documented since he first surfaced as part of the dynamic trio Pure Heart in 1999, then formed Colón with Lopaka Colón after Pure Heart split in 2000, and finally introduced himself as a solo recording artist with his Hoku Award-winning solo album, "Sunday Morning," in 2002.

	CD Review: Jake Shimabukuro, Dragon @ Blogcritics.org
		Although still best known in Japan and his native Hawaii, Jake Shimabukuro has become the pre-eminent worldwide ambassador for the ukelele, an instrument with more depth and soul than most of us know.
		In one sense, it's a triumph for Jake and his ukelele that they can take us on a relaxing musical journey while making us almost forget that the maestro is playing an instrument with only two octaves and four humble strings.
		On the strength of all that exposure, Jake Shimabukuro and his uke should be getting wider recognition in the US, which, although the new CD is somewhat uneven, he deserves.
