92.3 KSSK presents  David Yamasaki & Friends A Christmas Wish — Live at Blue Note Hawaii. Honolulu jazz guitarist David Yamasaki brings his three-guitar trio — with Robert Shinoda and Shoji Ledward — to Blue Note Hawaii for a Christmas-leaning evening of warm, unhurried jazz guitar, Monday, December 28. Vocalist Rachel Gonzales, featured on the title track of David's 2026 album A Christmas Wish, and Sandy Tsukiyama join the trio for a few songs each, mixing holiday favorites with bossas and standards.  Honolulu jazz guitarist David Yamasaki brings a warm, unhurried touch to the holiday songbook. His 2026 album A Christmas Wish — recorded in Honolulu with guitarists Robert Shinoda and Shoji Ledward — reimagines Christmas classics as intimate three-guitar conversations, blending warmth, musical friendship, and heartfelt tribute. The trio came together through organized jams David hosts at the Musicians' Union, and their conversation — melody out front, the rest listening and answering — is the sound of the record. The album's title track, composed by David's late friend Aaron Aranita and sung by Rachel Gonzales, opens the record with longing, hope, and peace. Christmas in Hawaii has no snow and no fireplaces, David says — it's warm evenings, family, good food, and people you love — and he wanted a record that sounds like that. His feel for groove and space comes from years playing with Latin jazz greats including Tito Puente, Wayne Wallace, Sheila E., and the Pete Escovedo Orches Tickets $25-$35 __________________________________________ CLUB POLICIES Show 7pm Doors 5pm Seating is First Come, First Served Per Section $20 Minimum Per Person Full Bar & Dinner Menu Available NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES.
