Jules w/ Hawaiian Trio Takiti

Post by Rick Aiello »

I bought this cassette years ago just because of the album cover (branch was added much later 🤪 )

Years later, Basil H. commented on this French album here on the forum … saying that it was Jules Ah See on steel for this record. He also said the vibraphone was added later …

Now it’s on YouTube … if you have not heard it … it’s a good one 😎

Yeah, that's a good one (I think I may have got my copy from Baz!). Didn't know about the vibes being added later. Definitely the slower, statelier side of his playing (not a bad thing).

I know this album well. It is a good one. My favorite tracks are Alekoki and Hiilawe.

I'll second Mike's shout on Alekoki - I've been using it as a warm-up for years, moving through the modulations and treating it like an etude when I sit down to practice. Not just beautiful, but useful! :lol:

I went to learn He Mana’o He Aloha yesterday …. He changes key every time through 🤪

I love the slow songs … but this one is even slow for me 🤠
