Album Description

The second volume of Hawaiian guitar treasures from Hoopii covers the years 1927 all the way into 1951, near the end of his life and the last recordings he would make. By now, Hoopii had developed his trademark C# minor tuning, and these middle- and late-period recordings show the depth and breadth of the inventions he could pull out of it at will. Of special interest here are three tracks from 1929 with Hoopii's original trio working in tandem with the Andrew Aiona Sax Trio, an odd traditional-Hawaiian-meets-art-deco musical bonding that somehow works marvelously on "Hano Hano Hawaii," "Hawaii Nei," and "Na Alii." Also worth an extra spin is the jazzy novelty "Ten Tiny Toes" and the later tracks from the end of the trail ("Indiana March," "Honolulu March," "Kohala March") with Sol in great command of his electric steel. One of the great innovators of steel guitar, discovering the beauty of Sol Hoopii's music is one of the great rewards for those willing to invest the time to seek him out. World music for the ages. ~ Cub Koda
