Grand Ukulele is Jake Shimabukuro's 2012 album, released in October 2012.
The album was produced by Alan Parsons, with orchestrations done by Kip Winger.
[1] The styles featured on the album range from, and sometimes merge: classical, blues, flamenco, mandolin, rockabilly, surf rock, and music box.
[3] Parsons helped Shimabukuro expand his sound, bringing in a 29-piece orchestra and a big-name rhythm section, including drummer Simon Phillips (The Who, Toto), bassist Randy Tico, and Kip Winger (Winger, Alice Cooper), who helped with the orchestration.
[3] Shimabukuro commented afterwards: "The best thing was that, even with all those people, we recorded everything live with no overdubs.
