With his humor, energy, and skill intact after a career stretching back to World War I-era vaudeville, ukulele legend Bill Tapia is unstoppable. After celebrating a rousing kanikapila-style 97th birthday party on New Year's Day in 2005, he returned home to Honolulu to release his latest CD, the diverse ukulele-driven masterpiece Duke of Uke and work on the PBS documentary on his life, To You Sweetheart, Aloha. Since the release of his first-ever CD, Tropical Swing (2004), Tapia's virtuoso playing, iridescent smile, and performing charisma have garnered worldwide recognition. And at age 98, Tapia doesn't intend to slow down. Plans for early 2006 include a live album release, completion of a new documentary, and more touring on the West Coast, in Hawai'i, and his debut performance in New York City. Joined by several SJW faculty artists, Tapia will perform a celebration of the beloved romantic songs of the 1930s and 1940s that have come to be known as the great jazz standards.
