I love his style!
I saw him recently on YouTube with another of my favorites, Tommy Emmanuel.

Jake, however, is a special player. After all his youthful years of getting plenty of recognition from top performers around the world, he still has a great passion for music and his uke. Saw him just a few mins. ago on a local morning news show and he just get's so deep into every note he plays. A real inspiration.
Bobby Ingano was on his last CD for at least one cut.

I saw Jake last year at a the local Roots & Blues festival. Top notch player and a great showman. It's amazing what one man/one instrument can do.

This is a TED video of the artist with another performance of the same tune. Great stuff and a testimony to the power of melody.
