There is a new wave coming from Hawaii, a blend of traditional music and the Big Band Swing brought to the Aloha state by U.S. servicemen during World War II. It's leading exponent is Kahulanui, a nine piece band - four horns plus guitar, bass, ukulele, drums and steel -whose energy and dynamic arrangements have caused a sensation throughout the Islands and now audiences to North America.
