Nakamura Takeshi is perhaps one of the best ukulele players in Japan. His arrangements are spot-on, jazzy, and most importantly, PLAYABLE!
Here's a great cover of Rhapsody in Blue. You can find a book of his arrangements, Ukulele Swing Jazz here. |
When it comes to the ukulele, outside of Hawaii Japan is where you can find some of the best arrangers, composers, performers, and instructional materials! I'm an amatuer ukulele player who happens to be fluent in Japanese. For many years Japanese have kept their passion for the ukulele burning strongly and not surprisingly, some of the best instructional material, performers (pros and amateurs), and instruments can be found there. Now you can find it here!
