"Antique Aloha 2:” That Hula Jazz” Special Edition CD PRE-ORDER is now available!

Here is a studio demo of "For You A Lei". This song will also be featured on my next record, "Antique Aloha 2: That Hula Jazz." This is a classic piece of Hawaiian material by John Noble and Oscar Hyatt. My version is loosely based on a version by Joseph Kamakau and his Hawaiian Serenaders, which I have a Victor 78 of on my record shelves behind me.

I'm soliciting your advanced purchases now to help me finish the final steps. Your PRE-ORDER purchase helps me push past the financial hurdles of licensing, music mastering, and physical production to finish Antique Aloha 2.

The CD includes an instant download of the "What Hula Jazz?" E.P. a collection of some preview tracks that you can enjoy now while I finish the project. You can hear clips of those preview tracks on my website. And they are available instantly via download with your CD PRE-SALE purchase.

For my third solo multitrack project I've decided to return to the Antique Aloha repertoire and further explore that musical landscape. This time I'm really leaning into the Jazz, Vaudeville, and Novelty side of the repertoire even further. Of course the steel guitar will take center stage but I intend to feature a lot more solo ukulele than I did on the first Antique Aloha issue. And I may even include a guitar solo or two. Once again I'll play all the instruments that you'll hear on the album!

Excellent, Christo. It would probably blow the minds of the board of National that their instruments would be in use almost 100 years later - and playing the same repertoire.

Thanks guys! I had fun arranging and practicing this one. Even thought it is slow the slants and intonation are tough.
