Synopsis

Album Description

Jesse Cook began his amazing career on Narada, signing with the label in 1994. One year later, he released his debut album TEMPEST. The album quickly sold over 100,000 units in the U.S. alone and propelled the rumba flamenco guitarist into the limelight just as "world music" was gaining broader acceptance among mainstream audiences. His astounding chops, sultry rhythms, and undeniable stage flair combined to make Cook one of the stars of the genre. Since then, he has become an international phenomenon. He's reached rock-star status in his native Canada, his Juno-award winning albums have sold over 1 million units worldwide, and his live shows are legendary. THE ULTIMATE JESSE COOK captures all the fire of Cook's most popular hits from his 6 albums on two, specially-priced CDs.

CD Reviews

The ultimate jesse cook

Jack Stanley | 03/22/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"simply stated. if i want to lie back and chill out, i listen to ottmar or govi. but if i want my blood to boil, jesse cook has to be my choice. i have made my own compilation of all of jesse's cd's and have titled it "boiling". no artist past or present has effected me more than jesse cook, and i was born in 1937. jack stanley"

"Other than a few cuts I would add from Nomad and Vertigo, this compilation has most of the spectacular tunes Jesse Cook and friends have produced. This is THE BARGAIN of the bunch."

Cooking with Gas, That's Cook!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you want music that will get you moving, yet be unabtrusive when necessary, this artist and his blend of flamenco meeting new age is for you. I've been listening to Cook for a few years now, having discovered him after my search for more music to expand my interest in acoustic guitar.

Following Leibert, Cook is one of my favorites. He truly knows his way around a guitar. And while I can't say I equally love every cut on this compilation, overall, I enjoy this set very much.

I know, I know, if you're a flamenco purist or snob, artists like him make you crazy and you'd never think to add him to your collection! But, for the rest of us who simply want something that makes us think, work by, relax by, entertain by, and makes you happy...well I don't think Cook can be beat. I'm hoping this really isn't The Ultimate Jesse Cook, because that would mean there's not much more to follow and I'm hoping for great new sounds from Cook for many listening years to come."
