[quote:e024a2d913]Shimabukuro, 29, has so completely mastered the traditional Hawaiian instrument that he is often mentioned in the same breath as such elite fret masters as Bela Fleck (banjo), Mark Connor (violin), and Jerry Douglas (dobro). With five CD’s and a DVD to his credit, Shimabukuro has opened new melodic frontiers with the four-string instrument, blending jazz, pop, traditional island music, and classical music into a fusion that can’t be described – it simply must be listened to.
