jim "Kimo" West: “ .... It's been said often that there are really only two kinds of music; good and bad. Jim West makes good music."-Richard Bennett, Mark Knopfler Band.

"Jim West’s new recording continues his Slack Key explorations in his unique and beautiful style, and in various tunings, including two of his own invention, further accentuating his own sound" -George Winston. pianist/ guitarist.

"James "Kimo" West captures the spirit and essence of ki ho`alu in his work - an extraordinary talent!"
-Ozzie Kotani, ki ho 'alu master .

ABOUT JIM: Best known as long-time guitarist for multi-Grammy-winning musical satirist, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Tampa native, Jim “Kimo” West presents a program of eclectic ki ho ‘alu (slack key”guitar) music.
With roots in early 19th century Hawaii, Ki ho ‘alu is one of the world’s most interesting acoustic music traditions West’s musical roots can be traced back to the Tampa area where he first picked up a guitar at age 12. At age 16 after graduating from King High School and shortly before entering USF, Jim played his first paying gig. He subsequently played in numerous bands in the Tampa Bay area before eventually seeking broader musical horizons in Los Angeles. It was there where he met musical satirist “Weird Al” Yankovic and joined his band. Over the years Weird Al (with his band), has toured world-wide and has been awarded platinum records and Grammys.
In 1985 during a trip to Hawaii, Jim became entranced with the lilting sounds of the slack key guitar . His first CD, “Coconut Hat,” was released in 1999. It was followed by “Slack Key West,” “Kimo-Style,” and “Kimo’s Hawaiian Slack Key Christmas, ” all instrumental collections of original material. His New CD, “Na Lani O Maui-Maui Skies,” is being released this fall.

Kimo (which is “James” in Hawaiian) is a two-time winner of the LA Treasures Award from the Los Angeles Dept of Cultural Affairs for his efforts in bringing slack key guitar to a wider audience. He is also the recipient of the Hawaii Music Award and a Na Hoku Hanohano (the Hawaiian “Grammy”) nominee.
Jim travels to Hawaii regularly to play at legendary slack key festivals. We’re delighted that he is bringing Hawaii to us.
