Already one of the most appealing talents among contemporary flamenco guitarists, Jesse Cook skillfully expands his discography with a spirited, satisfying recording (his fourth) that reconfirms his position as one of the elite composer/performers in the genre. Specializing in "rumba flamenco," Cook (born in Paris to Canadian parents) here embellishes his vibrant playing with well-crafted arrangements and imaginative instrumental colors, from the gypsy violin of the title track to the involving Middle Eastern mystery of "Incantation" to the fascinating mix of Arabic strings and subtle hip-hop rhythms on the disc's most distinctive piece, "On Walks the Night." Cook's playing is intricate, challenging, and rewarding, bringing expressive flair even to his subdued ballads ("Virtue," "All That Remains"). He tacks on a vocal selection near the disc's conclusion, a modest reworking of Neil Finn's "Fall at Your Feet" (Danny Wilde of the Rembrandts, close to a Finn clone, is the singer), then closes the disc with an uncredited live track, the percussion-heavy "Mario Takes a Walk." That piece, along with "Rattle and Burn," is also presented in video form as part of an enhanced-CD package. Good listening.

Jesse Cook出生于法国巴黎,父母为加拿大人,他早年成长于充满文化艺术气围的法国南部和西班牙。3岁时就伴随着他母亲的Flamenco录音弹奏一把玩具吉他。后随父母返回加拿大,6岁时进入闻名遐迩的Eli Kassner吉他学院。在此后16年的学习生涯里他还在多伦多皇家音乐学院,约克大学,及波士顿的Berklee音乐学院深造过。
Jesse Cook还曾重返法国及西班牙去重新探索他童年时期充满神秘的Flamenco,此间他遍访生活于安达露西亚、科多巴、格拉那达和马德里的吉他大师。
返回加拿大后,他成为一个成功的作曲家,为舞蹈、剧院、多媒体电视及电影创作,作品风格多变逐及古典及Rap。Jesse Cook的音乐糅合了含加勒比,巴西,爵士,中东及电子音乐风格。
杰西-库克的唱片生涯始于1995年。他的首张唱片发行之后被纳拉达唱片公司看中。他的第四张唱片使他真正成为全球知名的艺术家。《自由坠落》名列公告牌世界音乐榜的第五名。杰西-库克的佛朗明戈风格的吉他音乐其正流行起来。
在韦伯斯特大词典(Webster’s dictionary)里是这样定义Gravity的:1.一个天体施加的中心引力....;4.重要性;而对Gravitate的解释是:被不可抗拒的力吸引。
当你倾听《Gravity》时,不可避免地会被吸引到一个不可抗拒的轨道上。
很多人是在听到杰西.库克的 "Mario Takes a Walk" 开始喜欢上他的,实际上这首乐曲也成了他的招牌保留节目。 "Closer to Madness" 绝对具有迷惑性和诱惑力。 "Into the Darkness" 和 "Luna Llena" 是那样的优美,触及人的灵魂。其它乐曲也非常棒。
杰西.库克的音乐令人着迷之处在于他总是能深深触及你的灵魂深处。

To classify Vertigo as new age almost does it a disservice; not because the elements aren't there, but because the term doesn't adequately describe the music on this CD. Jesse Cook performs the blend of flamenco and various world music styles that is Vertigo with a gentle yet enthusiastic style, so that the up-tempo "That's Right!" (as with Miles Davis's "So What," you can hear the title phrase in the music) and slightly bluesy "Avocado" are just as great to listen to as the slower, cinematic "Cancion Triste" (featuring cellist Ofra Harnoy) or "Breathing Below Surface." Holly Cole's vocals on "Fragile" are a special treat; while Cook's guitar is the reason to get this CD, he never overrides his guest stars. Vertigo is exciting without being intrusive, soothing without putting you to sleep.

Jesse Cook是个加拿大的弗拉明戈吉他手,曾经走过世界融合音乐的路线,演奏时美妙的混合了打击,合成和取样。在他的音乐里容易听到由人演奏的音素,但有很多模糊入主音,听上去几乎不能分辨现场演奏与电脑播放的区别。但这些的确是杰出的曲子(Cook也制作设计了这些曲子,效果出众). Tempest是张制作精良的专辑,非常有诱惑力,吸引人的同时也没有过度分散人的注意力。乐句巧妙,颤音充满灵魂,曲目韵律也效果不错。专心听这张专辑的确让人收获不小。(网络)

Jesse Cook is a worldbeat musician in the truest sense of the word; he doesn’t just pick a style and repackage it, he is respected both by listeners and players alike for constantly seeking inspiration and tutelage from all over the world. A longtime fan of music from Spain, Africa, Egypt, Brazil, France and Cuba, Jesse Cook’s Montreal evokes each of those countries and then some on this, his sixth CD and first live disc.
Cook has a history of hooking up with talented players; previous contributors to his million-selling catalogue include cellist Ofra Harnoy, fellow Canuck Holly Cole, and Brazillian jazz phenom Flora Purim. His choice of players for Montréal are equally talented; that point is made clear right from the opening cut, "Beloved." Fellow Canadian, Maryem Tollar sets the stage with her incredible, ghostly Arabic vocals; from that romantic, moody brilliance right to the disc’s undulating climax of "Baghdad," the perpetual motion of Gypsy Kings-meets-Cirque du Soleil sounds resonate throughout the disc. The audience’s adoration of the performer and his wonderfully percussive live show (recorded at Le Festival International de Jazz de Montréal) allows the feverish applause to carry the enthusiasm over to the live disc itself.
There will always be a debate among purists as to whether accessible worldbeat or jazz is too easy-listening; ultimately, Cook is one part gifted guitar player, another part masterful showman. Even in the context of listening to a live CD, the energy that he gives to and subsequently receives from his fans on Montréal is contagious and musically rewarding
