No instrument creates an aura of intimacy like the ukulele. The delicate instrument demands audiences listen closer than normal, and its rich history and depth of tone are a wonder to behold in the hands of a true master. Daniel Ho is that kind of dude. The Hawaiian legend is a recurring character in the Grammys World Music category—including a win for Ikena with Tia Carrere—and deftly transports his instrument to hard rock, jazz and classical settings with ease. For his performance at San Jose Jazz Winter Fest, he plays Bing Studio accompanied by cello and percussion.
