Sol Hoopii's music is where traditional Hawaiian music meets American jazz. This collection of recordings, dating from 1926 to 1930, includes 'Twelfth Street Rag,' 'I Ain't Got Nobody,' 'St. Louis Blues,' and other standards of early American jazz, as well as a number of Hawaiian tunes. His sophistication, swing, and chops are a wonder to behold -- this music defies category, and you don't even have to be a fan of Hawaiian guitar to love this recording.
