Why He's Worth Watching:
Jesse Cook knows a thing or two about frontiers. Over the course of a dozen years and numerous best-selling albums, the virtuoso guitarist has explored the outer limits of popular music, breaking new ground with each successive recording. And, for this latest recording he wanted to trace rumba flamenco back to its roots in Cuba. His instincts though got the better of him and he wound up spending time in Bogota, Colombia. The resulting body of work is sublime, a continuation of Cook's insatiable appetite for world music in all its forms. Loyal fans will be thrilled with “The Rumba Foundation”, as he has entitled the album, while those who have never before experienced Cook's creativity will find themselves tapping their feet to these extraordinary Latin rhythms wondering why they have not experienced Cook before.
