JAM MASTERS: Hawaiian music fans got a great show Thursday when Ledward Kaapana, left, celebrated the recent release of his new CD, "Kiho'alu," at the Outrigger Waikiki. Several groups shared their musical aloha before Kaapana joined Brother Noland Conjugacion, Mike Kaawa and David Kahiapo for a short set. Kaapana then called up Alika Odom and Ryan Tang for an Ikona reunion, and capped that by welcoming Eddie Kamae, right. Kamae took over on ukulele and lead vocals while Kaapana played lead guitar, Kaawa subbed for Odom on rhythm guitar and Tang played electric bass. The music was so hot that visitors passing by wanted to buy tickets! Slack-key guitar masters George Kuo and Ozzie Kotani stopped in to congratulate Kaapana on his new album; Outrigger executives presented Kotani with a plaque commemorating his 2004 Na Hoku Hanohano Ki Ho'alu Award. Kaapana, Odom and Tang closed the show with "Ikona" and the ever-popular "Jus' Press Medley."

CONGRATULATIONS, LED!: Alika Odom, left, talked with Led and Sharon Kaapana, and Milton Lau, the producer of Kaapana's album, while party guests were enjoying the excellent buffet.

ALOHA FROM KELLY BOY: Kelly DeLima, center, was working at the Hula Grill Waikiki across the lobby but came over long enough to catch up with David Kahiapo, left, and Mike Kaawa.

APPRECIATE GOOD BEER: Leah Winkler, seated third from left, and Liz Johnson joined managing partner Mattson Davis, left, production manager Brit Antrim, and executive chef Liam Martin on Monday for the Annual Brewers Dinner at Kona Brewery Co. in Hawaii Kai. Martin used different beers in preparing the four-course dinner. Antrim chose the beer to accompany each course.

THUMBS UP FOR "STEALTH": Tanya Watson gave "Stealth" a good review Tuesday after catching a preview at Ward Stadium 16 with her husband, Matt: "I'm generally not a big fan of military or war movies but I liked the science fiction aspect. It had HAL (from '2001: A Space Odyssey') written all over it ... It was non-stop action."

MEGARITA TIME: Chad Rutkowski enjoyed the "Pussycat Junkies" party Wednesday at Compadres with Mel Cambra. Rutkowski will be leaving soon for Iraq. A 32-oz "Megarita" is the official party drink.
