Jesse Cook is a Canadian guitarist comparable to Paco de Lucia and Vicente Amigo. He was born and raised in Europe and was inspired by time spent in the gypsy neighborhood of Arles in France. Jam sessions with Nicolas Reyes (Gypsy Kings) and Manitas de Plata inspired his own style of rumba flamenca. For over 20 years he has been creating music and performing internationally. He is a Juno award winner and three time winner of the Canadian Smooth Jazz award for Guitarist of the year. Cook is a musical citizen of the world whose performances guarantee a journey from flamenco and latin music to funky jazz.
