Comments:
Israel moved from attracting audiences in high school to a smokey little stage at Hank's Place in Kaimuki, where his humor and lead vocals led to creation of the group "Makaha Sons of Niihau" setting the measure for future island groups in four part harmony. Israel's vocals are the vocal signature of that group.

Israel explores a variety of styles in Ka'Ano'i, a solo effort.. It is delving into material of a contemporary nature - playing with reggae, country western, and other rhythms, including a variety of traditional Hawaiian ballads. The song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" on this CD is a playful, jazzy version. Later on his Cd "Facing Future", it developed into the current popular arrangement that is used in movies and TV.

This is the first solo album of the six treasured Israel Kamakawiwo`ole albums, Ka'Ano'i, E Ala E, Facing the Future, In Dis Life, and the posthumously published now available IN CONCERT-IZ - THE MAN AND HIS MUSIC, (CD #53), and ALONE IN IZ WORLD - (CD #86).

Izzy's latest recording features orchestral interpretations of his music with his voice and `ukulele integrated back into the music by the studio technicians. Wonderful World was release on the 10-year memorial of his passing on 06/26/2007
