He moved on to solo work, producing solid albums to both critical and popular acclaim: "Lowdown“ ”Lido Shuffle” ”Breakdown Dead Ahead” “Georgia” "Harbor Lights" "We're All Alone" “Look What You’ve Done to Me" “JoJo” ”What Can I Say” and  hit albums Silk Degrees, Down Two Then Left, Middle Man, Hits, Slow Dancer and now his latest release Fade Into Light. The music magazine Jazz Times  has lauded his "impeccably good taste and vocal otherworldliness that's at once starting and arresting." visit the official Boz website

Maui Film Festival presents…BLINDSIGHT
Wednesday, May 14… 5:00 & 7:30 pm, Castle Theater
Called "Simultaneously a sports adventure film, a tear-jerking tale of hope and inspiration and a captivating meditation on culture clash" by the SF Chronicle, this astonishing documentary about a group of young blind Tibetan children led on a hike up Mt. Everest, by world renowned blind climber Erik Weihenmayer, also raises important questions that resonate far beyond the subject at hand: "What is the meaning of accomplishment, and how do you define triumph?" Featuring exceptional people doing extraordinary things, BLINDSIGHT is "one of those documentaries with the power to make you re-examine your entire life" raved the NY Times. Entertainment Weekly added "an observant film about profound East-West differences in the importance of journey versus destination and comradeship versus competition." In English and Tibetan and German with English subtitles. 104 min. Rated PG.

Natural Ground: The Intentions of Three
Lynne Gilroy Linda Kane Randy Takaki
May 11-June 15
Three artists from different islands, each with their own astute perceptions of the natural environment of Hawai‘i: Lynne Gilroy draws on inspirations from the air, sea and sky of Maui,  using strong design in structural,  layered  compositions. Linda Kane exhibits large scale drawings with 3-dimensional sculptural elements. Randy Takaki, who lives and works on Hawai‘i Island near Kilauea Volcano,  creates abstract sculptures, such as forms that emerge from the cores of trees, which offer a quiet, mysterious quality
Sally French & Christopher Reiner
Dual Exhibits : June 28 - July 27
Schaefer International Gallery open Tue-Sun 11am – 5 pm
Edgy, thought-provoking, quirky creations turn the gallery into a playground for viewers to interact with the personal imagery of these two artists from Hawai‘i. Sally French exhibits paintings, prints and sculptural works directed by contemporary life issues, masked in fantasy cartoon character episodes. O‘ahu artist Christopher Reiner - best known for his “obtainium sculpture” made from found and recycled objects - presents installations constructed in the gallery, based on social and environmental ideas. Unique collaborative pieces by both artists also create another component for this stimulating exhibit. FREE Admission.
Also open before Castle Theater shows and during intermissions.
