There's another excellent swing uke player, Gerald Ross. A couple by him: solo in a studio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L-ckVtz7rE << nice description of his ax Then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4gVT7z0wiE << another solo piece
BUT I really wanted to go another way, to 8 strings--The Jazz Mandolin Project. Best place to start is '99's Tour de Flux--AMG makes a point of saying they are literally and figuratively all over the map (bop, avant-garde, world styles). Here's some other stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_e9Y7K7vUo << lively sense of humor, this lad >> and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2C4ZP6aHfM and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee0ubMk1HZ8 << Not at all conventional, but if Jamie Masefield labels his music "jazz", who are we to disagree?
