Released too late for holiday gift-giving, but definitely worth a mention here -- recordings taken from performances by guest artists at George Kahumoku's wonderful weekly slack key concert series on Maui: http://www.mele.com/v3/info/3022.htm

I just got an email this morning in response to my inquiry about this CD that said they only have enough inventory to sell at the concerts on Maui and that the CD probably wouldn't be otherwise available until after the start of the year. Auntie, you rock!
After seeing a few of these concerts at the Ritz-Carlton, I think the artists do some of their best work there and the audiences they get really contribute to a high quality show. I'm looking forward to this CD. Jesse Tinsley
