About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Be warned -- this is an album that will grow on you very quickly. Jesse Cook is a Canadian flamenco guitarist who took the world fusion route at some point, basing his playing against a wonderful mix and match of percussion, synthesizers and samplers. It's easy to spot some of the artificial elements, but many more of them have been blurred into the total sound, making it impossible to separate live players from the computer-driven tracks -- excellent work indeed (Cook also produced and engineered the tracks, which makes the result all the more impressive). Tempest is a subtle album, very seductive, getting one's attention without demanding it, through a clever phrase, a particularly soulful vibrato, a nice effect in the rhythm tracks, and so on. Intent listening to this album is a very rewarding experience indeed. Steven McDonald, All Music Guide

January 25, 2009: I never tire of listening to this CD. Everything from the reflective "Cascada" to the hypnotic "Baghdad" is just irresistible. The combination of percussion, synthesizers, and other instruments as a backdrop to the flamenco-flavored guitar of Jesse Cook is fantastic. What a great talent!

One of the world's greatest guitarists!by Anonymous

April 05, 2004: Tempest is still my all-time favorite album of Jesse's. If you love flamenco, and you love AWESOME guitarists...this is your man. Segovia would be proud. Jesse is probably the greatest living guitarist on the planet. And, if you can believe this, he is even better live than in the studio. Ten stars from this listener!!!!
