JESSE COOK IN CONCERT:
Canadian guitarist Jesse Cook is one contemporary flamenco's most beloved acts, combining unparalleled guitar work with elements of world music and jazz on his elegant compositions. Possessing a deep, first-hand knowledge of gypsy musical traditions, Cook has earned himself opening slots for luminaries including B.B. King and Ray Charles, but it's his recent solo shows that have really turned heads. Whether he's showing off his furious finger-picking skills on "Tempest" or slowing things down with "Europa," fans can expect an unforgettable night of music at his 2014 tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Paris, Jesse Cook spent his early years moving between various European locales including the South of France and Barcelona. There, he was introduced to the sound of gypsy guitarists like Manitas de Plata, a discovery that proved formative as he developed his own flamenco-inspired playing style. After receiving extensive musical training in the US and Canada, Cook got his big break at the 1995 Catalina Jazz Festival, where his performance on a smaller stage was so well received that the festival's organizers moved him to the main stage. A few months later, his 1995 debut album Tempest landed at No. 14 in the US, kicking off extensive touring and setting the stage for 1996's gold-selling Gravity. With 11 Juno nominations to his name, Cook remains at the vanguard of nuevo flamenco, hitting the road once again in 2014 for a highly anticipated tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Cook is such a virtuoso guitarist that I feel he's up there with Clapton and Mark Knopfler -- but very different, of course -- and his combination of Flamenco and Spanish meshed into Middle Eastern/Mediterranean/Baltic is stunning. The musicians in his band are geniuses in their own right and together they form a very tight and talented unit."
"No glitz, no glamour, just 5 guys who can play the heck out of their instruments and have a lot of fun doing it. Jesse's storytelling between songs was funny in a genuine way."
"Concert was very entertaining. Not only was Jesse Cook amazing, his band members were very impressive and talented, playing various instruments."
An intimate venue with no bad seats. The music was wonderful, not overly loud, very enjoyable! Was definitely worth the five hour drive to see Jesse Cook and his band.
Jesse always has a great show. He and his band plays some of the best music around.
We had never heard of Jesse Cook but based on the Memphis Audience, he has a great following. And after spending 2 wonderful hours listening to him, we can understand why! He is an incredible song writer and guitar player. He mesmerized the audience for 2 hours and an encore. The additional musicians he had with him were outstanding too. A wonderful evening!!
Jesse Cook is an amazing guitarist. He will get you on your feet without saying one single word. We never miss his show when he comes to Denver
I have been listening to Jesse Cook for as long as he been around bc he blends different sounds, culture, and history. I was very happy that he made to the southeast and seen him numerous times. Never disappointed!!!
Jesse Cook never disappoints and his show at District Live in Savannah was no exception. Amazing band, spectacular on-your-feet music and an intimate venue made for the perfect evening!
Jesse has bags of talent and was accompanied by some wonderful musicians from several countries. We thoroughly enjoyed the show! The venue was full of a very enthusiastic audience who were on their feet swaying to the music and clapping! We would have liked seats to be raked instead of all on one level, but Jesse and his band still blew us away! We made a special trip from Hilton Head to Savannah to see the concert, which didn't disappoint!
I recently discovered Jesse Cook and his concert was beyond my expectations. So much talent, great band, great energy. Beautiful music and lots of fun.
Great show!!!! Amazing performance, great stage presentation. Fantastic start to our vacation.
What a wonderful show Jesse Cook put on in Fort Lauderdale! His interesting stories and the band accompanying him rounded out a not-to-be-missed performance. Loved how he wove in some older pieces of music. The Broward Centre for the Performing Arts is a great venue with amazing acoustics that were perfect for Jesse's intimate style!
