Bamboo Ki Ho`alu ~ Riley Lee & Jeff Peterson


BAMBOO SLACK KEY
from Riley Lee & Jeff Peterson
Honolulu, Hawaii, December, 2001... Hula Records International proudly announces the second release by world-renowned shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute) grand master, Riley Lee (of Hawai`i and Australia) and Maui born guitarist Jeff Peterson.  Lee, with nearly 50 albums to his credit, tours the world eight months out of the year, performing and lecturing, while Peterson, who has studied with some of the world's finest classical and jazz guitarists, teaches music and performs primarily on O`ahu.  He recently played for appreciative crowds at the 19th Annual SLack Key Guitar Festival, Ki Ho`alu 2001.

The Honolulu Star Bulletin has said of Lee and Peterson:  "...The duo is clearly taking Hawaiian music in a fresh and imaginative direction that has worldwide appeal..."

Bamboo Slack Key, their latest offering, takes us on a musical journey to the most remote areas of an unforgettable island, Maui.  Peterson, a prolific composer, has drawn much inspiration from the beauty of the island and has composed eight selections reflecting his experiences there.  He collaborated with Lee to give us three more pieces.  A hauntingly beautiful arrangement of Johnny Almeida's "Kanaka Waiwai" completes the journey.
