Jake Shimabukuro is the Big Daddy of the ukulele, and he’s got a special program to celebrate his Healdsburg Jazz Festival debut on Father’s Day. It’s been almost two decades since the Hawaiian-born maestro catapulted to fame when a clip of him tearing through “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” in New York’s Central Park went viral on YouTube. He’s been soaring ever since, expanding the possibilities on his diminutive four-string instrument with his virtuosity and fearless imagination. Blending jazz, bluegrass, flamenco and classical techniques, he’s forged a singular approach sought out by a disparate cast of stars.
