Jesse Cook

Whenever Jesse Cook come to town, will always see him in concert! Amazing music every time! They are all wonderfully talented! Thanks for another great show!

We have attended many wonderful performances by 60 s musical artists. Jesse Cook was highly recommended by our close friends whom joined us for dinner and this concert. Cook is very talented and supported by his four piece group. If you get the opportunity...take it and open your mind to his wonderful musical style. Widely considered one of the most influential figures in nuevo flamenco music, he incorporates elements of flamenco rumba, jazz and many forms of world music into his work.

Nice intimate venue to see this great performer! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

What a great show! This is the 4th time I've seen Jesse, and every time he gets better! His new cd is excellant. Don't miss him next time he comes to town, if I could, I would see him in Portland tonight.

I saw this concert on Pandora first, and rushed to find a ticket. We first saw Jesse Cook at the Chateau St. Michelle concert series a few years ago, and we have several albums. The venue was perfect, the concert was great, and the energy was fantastic. So glad to have him back on tour!

Jesse is one of the best guitarist on the the planet. He did an amazing solo that once again proved his virtuosity. And a fabulous entertainer. He had everybody in the theater on their feet and rumba dancing by the end. Very intimate with the audience. Talks to the audience and answers questions. Great mix of new and greatest hits. The new stuff he played will become the next greatest hits. Three encores; do not miss Jesse "unplugged". Worth every penny.

Concert was fabulous as well as the venue at the TripleDoor. Jesse had us on our feet!

I've seen Jesse Cook four times now around Seattle and British Columbia but by far my favorite concert venue around the NW is the Triple Door in Seattle. Small, intimate, and highly classy, the Triple Door makes an event of any artist privileged enough to play there. The only thing that could top the venue itself is seeing one of my favorite artists Jesse Cook play in it. His new songs which he debuted there sounded amazing and were a hit with everyone, despite not having heard them before. And his standards were great as usual, especially with Chris Church back in the five-man line-up once again (he was missing for last year's show). But the icing on the cake was the a cappella version of "Fall at Your Feet" with Chris on the lead vocals. It totally silenced everyone in the crowd and left us wanting for more. Thanks for coming again Jesse!

Jesse and band sound more like a latin jazz orchestra than just a 5 piece group. They are so tight, and get the audience involved with clapping, dancing. Simply amazing!

We went to see the Jesse Cook show at the Triple Door. Jesse Cook is a guitar player without equal. His supporting band members are all consumate professionals. I would recommend that anyone who enjoys music go to see Jesse Cook play.

Great venue and even a greater show! Personal and intimate. Fantastic!

This group is incredibly talented with a wonderfully exotic sound. Sexy music at it's best! We were fortunate to sit next to the stage to really appreciate the skill Jesse and the other members of the group have with the variety of instruments they play. Clearly professional and in love with what they do, just a phenomenal performance. Relaxed, confident, engaging and fun. Don't miss him!

We have all Jesse Cook's albums, even the new one that came out 3 days prior to the concert. We can (and do) listen to him all day - seeing him live was the perfect frosting on a delectable cake of recorded music. The band played a set of new music and old, taking us on a virtual music journey through Columbia, Cuba, North Africa, Persia, and back to South America. Yummy, Delicious - music filled our hearts and spirits and gave us a world tour too!

He is truly a guitar virtuoso, playing his own unique music, drawn from his many travels. The other members of the band were excellent, especially the drummer. Well worth the admission!

Jesse Cook's music is always amazing- both exciting and relaxing. It was great to hear music so new it didn't even have a name. And to attend in that location (The Studiio Theatre) made it even more special - an intimate, friendly set, like being in a large livingroom. My least favorite part of the evening was all the camera flashes going off thoughout the concert. How Rude!!

I have been to a number of concerts but this one was amazing. The talent from Jesse and the entire band is incredible. At times the audience was so spellbound, you could hear a Pin drop. There was not a bad seat in the theater. I will be back any time Jesse is there!!

This show was absolutely fantastic! If Jesse came next week, I'd attend a-g-a-i-n.

The show in the historic Lincoln Theater in Columbus, Ohio was a great show. The individual musicians moved around so there was different configuration of who was playing with whom, which made the show move pretty quickly. And even though most of the show had the entire band playing, the word music feel of their music kept everyone's attention. Their 3 encores were really good, once being an acoustic song, meaning their instruments and voices weren't amplified. Something they could do in a small theater and still have everyone hear them. Their final encore song, called "Lullaby" soothed everyone and prepared us for the end of the show. We had a great time.

High energy all over the stage. Jesse Cook does not disappoint. Playing expertly and singing in harmony on a few songs. His band mates are all so talented and very entertaining.

Enchanting evening with Jesse Cook at the Saban Theatre. Sound is great. Great view from any seat.

We're a huge fan of Jesse Cook. We've seen his concert a few times and really, I (we) don't think we'll ever tire of it. His concerts are always refreshing. However, and not sure if we're just reaching the point of Jesse Cook-fatigue, or maybe he needs to refresh his concert/s a bit more. His dialogue is way overused, and this time around we can almost mimic his lines way before he utters them. He desperately needs a new format and/or lines. More importantly, this night is the first time I've seen him 'disconnected' with the audience as though he'd rather be somewhere else than be playing the guitar. He wasn't as inspired to share his music. He wasn't as intimate and involved as he normally is in his concerts. He seem to had just gone through the motion.

Very entertaining show. Enjoyed it all! Great music and fun banter.

Jesse Cook's guitar mastery always amazes me and my wife, and this concert at the Saban Theatre continued that trend. The new songs impressed us--including the sad ones--and the familiar tunes made us smile, clap and tap our feet. Near the end of the show, the much-expected "rumba party" broke out, energizing the crowd and making the old building rock. For anyone who's never seen Jesse Cook and his remarkably talented backup group--led by Chris Church--in action, it's time for you to attend one of their concerts.

This was my second time seeing Jesse at the Saban Theater, which is a great venue for its size and acoustics. He still has the "It" factor and is vibrant, alive and entertaining as usual... and especially as compared to one of my previous great favorites, Ottmar Liebert, who I saw at the same venue a few months ago; they play similar music. Ottmar was slow, lethargic and very repetitive in his music these days. Jesse, on the other hand, appears to be gaining strength and does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Yes, he is a must see! F. Reeves

I love the energy of this band it's not just only Jesse Cook that has most of the talent. Every single member is amazing and you get the feeling that they're more like family instead of band members.

Can t say enough about Jesse cook. Always a great show

Known to me for many years only thru CD & Radio. Enjoy the New Flamingo style and his take from world influence. Hearing and seeing him live was great with a much higher respect for all he does as an artist, musician & creator with his lovely & talented band members. Great concert. Thank you.

What a great concert! We were thoroughly entertained and amazed at the amount of talent up on stage!

Amazing guitarist, wonderful musicians in the group and great music!

Have several of Jesse Cook's CD's. Saw a music program on AXS TV recently of a concert and he was so good, that when his tour was announced, I had to get tickets. Wanted to see this guy live. It was a real treat. ROW 2, center! Very professional stage presence. The entire band was top notch talent on their instruments. Especially enjoyed the bassist, moving to the music as he played. Percussionist was truly a talent. This concert did not feature any singer. A little disappointed with that as my favorite CD has a female singer on some of the songs. I guess Jesse changes out on his back up musicians. Worth seeing for sure.

The music was amazing! It was the first concert we have attended at the Palace of Fine Arts and we were in awe. Can't wait to go back.

Again Jesse has proven what a fantastic musician he is. Seeing him live is such a great experience. He is very friendly and responsive with the audience. The rest of his band are top of the line. There is probably no instrument that Chris Church can't master. The multiple encores were driven by a blessed crowd.

Jesse cook s performance was fantastic!! The band played non-stop except for small break and they gave it their alll\u2014 I will definitely buy tickets again when they come to Seattle

In my next life can I come back as his guitar? Jesse and the crew are simply amazing, engaging and it was fantastic to share it with my son. Thank you, all for sharing your music, talent and time. I will be back. Every time!

Jesse and his whole band are incredibly talented. Jesse is a great showman on stage with the right amount of humor and history between each song. We had 3 ovations for this show. The whole theater was on their feet swaying and clapping to the music.

Mr. Cook and his band were outstanding. It was everything you could ask for in a show. Don t miss him!

The best concert I've seen in Seattle. The band was absolutely amazing and brought tears to your eyes with the beauty of the music & talent.

Truly superb show. do not miss this chance to see a legend.

Lovely evening with Jesse Cook and his band. They were very engaging with the audience and enjoyed listening to the narrative between songs. The music is varied (as one would expect with world music). You have your quiet moments and your 'dancing' moments. Enjoyed having a short intermission during the concert. Great idea! Have been a fan for a long time and will remain so. Note: Until FEMA decides to give the Parker Playhouse their parking lot back to them, you will have to walk from temporary parking across the street to the venue. (not far though) Valet may be worth it.

Jesse Cook and the other musicians were amazing. You could see how much they enjoyed what they do and working together...it made the wonderful music that much better. I've been listening for years but the live performance was beyond expectations. Thank you!

The performance was everything I could have hoped for! Jesse Cook is an amazing guitarist and I was so excited to see him play.

GREAT PERFORMANCE. LOVED THE SHOW. TALENTED GROUP.

Every time we see Jesse Cook and the band we are amazed. They take things beyond playing music and venture into the surreal with some of the things they pull off. Just watching Jesse use the entire length of his nylon strung guitar as a drum set is worth the price of the tickets alone! But then bring in the violin, the bass, another guitar and one of the best drummers i've ever seen and it is incredible. They cover off quite a spectrum of musical styles so one second you are transported to Columbia then the Middle East and then back to Denver for a Lumineers cover. We are looking forward to seeing them on their next visit!

We loved Jesse Cook's concert last Friday night at the Parker Playhouse. First, the playhouse does not have a bad seat anywhere. The acoustics are wonderful All of these musicians were excellent, the compositions complex and pleasing, and Jesse and his band of troubadours gave and gave...three encores. If you ever get a chance to see him, you must go. I would have gone back the next evening if he were to play again.

Don't even hesitate to go see them. Great guitar,, rhythm, surprise vocal excellence-unforgettable joy. Thank you Mr. Cook and Company.

Jesse Cook & his band are world-class in \u2018new flamenco genre. The music is percussive and very dancable. It was all I could do to stop myself from bumping my neighbor in my seat, and I was grateful when Jesse Cook asked the audience to stand up! The band is impressive in its creative mastery of a wide range of instruments, bringing a physical texture and cultural richness that are very satisfying. While the acoustics of the venue were not great, the sounds of the live performance were a sensory feast. This was easily one of the warmest and most engrossing concerts I ve been to. The band and audience connected viscerally, resulting in a triple encore!

The concert was so good and the entire experience was amazing.

Amazing performance By Messy Cook and his entire band! Fun and energetic show ity lots of audiance participation....

Jesse Cook is a consummate artist and musician and the rest of his group were excellent as well. They gave a wonderful concert, including some of his older compositions as well as numbers from his most recent CD, Jesse Cook One World. His music is so encompassing that it defies classification. He is more than just a brilliant musician. His warmth and charm as a human being come across the footlights and make you, as an audience member, feel welcomed and a part of the musical experience. The venue was perfect for him and his group because it was cosy and comfortable and there wasn't a bad seat in the house. I have been a fan for several years, but this is the first opportunity I have had to see him play live. It was a wonderful experience and one I will recall fondly for many, many years I am sure.

Jesse Cook is still a niche artist, so you can often get very good seats at a reasoanble price. No turbotron arenas necessary. Commonly touring with 4-5 bandmates, each can swap out instruments to add layers to the music. Theur style is led by flamenco and other world-music guitar leads, with strong percussion. They're a very audience-friendly band. Lots of hand clapping, dancing, and even some sing along parts. Though I wish more people would learn to turn their smartphone screens to dim, and not use flash photography, it is a plus that Jesse Cook seems to always allow photos and video. So you can probably capture a few key moments.

He rocks with his guitar and his amazing band. 100% recommended. Great show and a lot of fun. Thanks!!

Loved Jesse and his group, Chris, Nick, Dennis (Chendi was missing, sadly, but the young man who was the percussionist was extremely good) put on a fabulous show, again. This is the sixth time I have seen Jesse Cook in concert, and he never fails to deliver. He interacts with his audience, he tells background stories of his songs and the instruments and mentions his family. He personalizes his shows, and the time just flies by. I was amazed how quickly it was over. I could've stayed for hours! I am already looking forward to seeing him in concert again!

Jesse Cook and his band are always exciting to see. I have never been let down, since first discovering this band playing at a mall in the middle-of-nowhere Ontario. Since then I keep an eye on when they will come to Vancouver. They are all incredibly talented musicians with unique talent and skill. Together they are magic.

This was my husbands first live performance. We knew the music would be moving, but the last song Jesse and his entourage enter the audience and stop right beside my husbands seat. They performed within arms reach and he shook my husbands hand. It could simply not have been any better if I had planned it myself. If you are a fan you will love the concert. Jesee is very interactive and approachable in his performance. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and again. The members of the band are equally impressive for talent. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

I had never even heard of Jesse Cook until I saw him on a PBS special during a WGBH pledge drive. I bought the tickets while watching the show as soon as they said he was going to be in Boston. Cook and his band do a wonderful job of combining flamenco with modern music. His playing is superb, and his band are just as wonderful. They were entertaining as a group and in their solos. I look forward to buying some of their albums so I can listen and discover more.

Crazy about Jesse Cook's nuevo flamenco....I first heard his first album 'Gravity' at Big Sur and had since been hook and followed his development since then. Visualizing his mastery of the guitar is to me a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A Must-See moment. My only 'disappointment' is that the audio could've been managed a little better. One a small venue as The Grove, it can be tough to get the right balance of the instruments. But, it was still a treat and a wonderful experience to see and hear Jesse Cook and his band.

Starting with the staff at the Fine Arts Center - They were extremely helpful and friendly. Settling into our seats the view was excellent. From the start of the show to the intermission you could feel the crescendo of energy. After in the intermission the show reached even more highs. The encore set really engaged the audience. Jesse Cook is a definite must see and will become and annual event for this household.

This is my first time at the Chandler Center for the Arts and I was surprised they were able to get a top-rated artist like Jesse Cooke there. I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. Excellent views of the stage and performers. The music was fabulous -- lots of "dancing" in the seats.

I went in with pretty high expectations, especially having seen Flamenco virtuoso Ottmar Liebert less than 2 years prior. The show exceeded my expectations. Period. I would see the show again in an instant.

The whole show was so amazing from start to finish! It's difinitly a show that I would love to see again...I loved everything about the enegery was high the whole time.

I took my 16 year old son, who just received a Martin Guitar for his birthday, to the Jesse Cook concert. You know how hard it is to get a 16 year old to talk, right? Halfway through the show I turned to my son to see if he was enjoying himself and he just looked at me and smiled and said, "Mom, this is amazing!". Priceless. He's an aspiring musician and seeing the way Jesse played guitar has inspired my son more than anything I could ever say or do. We look forward to a return performance at The Birchmere. By the way, our waitress ROCKED!!!

Awesome music!!!! Anyone into rumba flamenca, middle eastern, and Brazilian rhythms should know about Jesse :)

Can not ask for more, Jesse and his team gave us a great evening! The Birchmere always providing the best service. Thank you!

Worth it! They get the audience participating - clapping, standing, dancing a bit. Showmanship, fabulous musicians. Great time!

If you're a fan of latin guitar and the intersection of Ottmar Liebert and the Gypsy Kings, then you'll be sorry to miss Jesse Cook on his latest tour. Backed by four incredible musicians on guitar, violin, bass, accordion, and percussion, Mr. Cook tore up the stage with is virtuosity and affable stage side manner at this intimate setting. The band played two sets of music that took the better part of two hours from earlier albums and his new CD - The Blue Guitar Sessions. While Jesse Cook was clearly the star, all the musicians had a chance to show off their considerable chops. It was a great night of live music in a small setting. Outstanding.

I am a new fan to Jesse Cook (less than a year). I have his live DVD from Montreal and some cd's so I knew what to expect. His drummer/percussionist (Chandra?) is extremely talented trying to cover what was done by 2 musicians in the DVD. There is a little less depth in that area though in doing it that way. Jesse is flawless and a joy see perform. Nick was a wonderful compliment musically on the guitar. My wife and I were not disappointed as Chris Church played his heart out on the violin & showed his versatility with other instruments. We missed seeing the 'palmers' which we on the DVD but we were still very entertained. Jesse & Chris were very kind afterwards to sign my tickets. I didn't have room on my camera's memory card (video's) otherwise I would have gotten a picture or two afterward.

This show was awesome. We have seen Jesse a few times over the years, but this show topped them all. Such a wonderful combination of talented musicians. Going to the show was a surprise for my husband's birthday, it was the perfect gift!

This concert was outstanding. I would see this show a thousand times over if I could. Jesse and the band stayed after to talk to fans and autograph cds. I can't wait to see you again Jesse!

Full on front row experience!The energy was on your feet amazing.Unfogetable show,a must see to believe the talent these artists are!!

Small venue. Interaction between the band and the audience, And the band was outstanding!!!! 3 encores..front row seat...could not have been a better night!

Jesse was once again fantastic live and in person. He has kept the best talent together to back up his incredible music and just has the most amazing energy and stage presence. I saw him a year ago at the Triple Door and thought that was good but last night he proved to be even better. I hope that he will continue to come to this venue as I will never miss the opportunity to attend.

I only just became acquainted with this guitarist through my radio subscription service where I listen to the Contemporary Jazz channel. Last year they played one of his new songs, Double Dutch, which I loved. When I researched the artist, I discovered I liked a lot of his other works, and that he was coming to the Lincoln Theatre! His style is a mix of contemporary jazz, flamenco, rumba and world music. Jesse plays an acoustic guitar, and his band is small, 5 players; another acoustic guitar, an electric base guitar, a violin (among an assortment of other instruments, familiar and exotic) and a drummer (who also plays more than standard drums). The songs are mostly instrumental, although there were a few with vocals, and Jesse had some commentary between songs that was fun. I was fascinated watching musicians play real instruments, these were not synthesizers! The sound was adequately loud, without being deafening. Jesse also encouraged audience participation in keeping time to the beat. The Lincoln Theatre is a marvelous place, it made me wish I had been alive to see it in the heyday of the Columbus jazz culture. It has been renovated to bring back the original feel and charm of its glory days. It is a small venue, but was the perfect size for this concert. There was not a bad seat in the house, and the performance was close to sold out, if not sold out. Apparently Jesse Cook had played this venue some time in the past, and I'm sorry I wasn't familiar with his works then and missed it. I had a wonderful time, and my friends and I are are down for any repeat performances. I even went for groupie status, buying a t-shirt and a couple of CDs.

A fabulous show! Loved every minute of the great talent of Jesse and his fellow musicians, especially Chris who continues to amaze me.

Jesse Cook and company did not disappoint. Some of the music was familiar to me because I play it at home a lot but some of it was new and I liked that too. Sometimes it was hard to believe there were only five people on that stage. The venue was excellent for getting the best sound possible and the seats were comfortable.. I don't know why I just learned about JC in the last year or so but better late than never.

We had a wonderful time at the show. Venue is nice and clean , staff was easy to work with

I have seen many musicians and truly love live music. Jesse cook and his band were talented and engaging. They performed and sang and interacted with the crowd. The venue was small and quaint with great acoustics. He makes playing the guitar look easy and his Latin and middle eastern influences comes through in his music. It refreshing and unique to hear the Colombian Gaita and the violin in the same song. It is truly a great show and would recommend it.

Very enjoyable concert and venue. Jesse had a good rapport with the audience. Jesse and all the band members showed excellent musicianship. The sound and venue made the evening a pleasurable experience. If you like this style of music, nobody does it better than Jesse Cook.

I love jesse cook and have seen him many times I thought this particular concert did not have the usual energy Could have been the sound sydtem which i thought was harsh Could have been the playlist Could have been that jesse personally played less than usual deferring to his band mates who are excellent but they are not jesse Or could have been the replacement percussionist who several times was off the beat

We traveled from Cleveland to see him in Fort Lauderdale. The venue was great, intimate and the sound was excellent! Would see him again if we ever have the opportunity.

This is the 3rd Jesse Cook concert I have attended in Atlanta and the 2nd one at the Buckhead Theater. He is an awesome artist with a wonderful band. I listen to his music all the time as I travel on business and pleasure. I highly recommend attending one of his concerts. Also, the Buckhead Theater is a great venue to really enjoy his music!!

Jesse and his 4 man group were truly inspired. Jesse not only played well, he also spoke to us in such a way that you felt part of the performance. Makes you want to learn to play flamenco guitar

I have been a Jesse Cook fan since Sept 2005 when I first saw him in Starkville, Mississippi. That was the night before Hurricane Rita struck the Gulf Coast. His show then was just as amazing that night as it was 1 Oct 2017 in Atlanta Georgia. He has never lost his showmanship playing before an audience nor has he lost his respect for his fellow band members, be they long term or new. He praises each member of his band repeatedly during the show and lets the showcase their respective talents. I frequently travel with in the southeast to see a Jesse Cook Concert and will continue too as long as I am able. Jesse keep up the good shows and people will always come to see them.

Great show as always! Jesse Cook is one of a kind.

The VERY BEST QUALITY SHOW !!!!! Jesse Cook combined with the DCPA, Raleigh was a class act. This was the 5th time to see him in concert. Jesse is both talented and entertaining in the delivery of a world class show. He gave us a break from the crazy world around us. The Best.

Jesse Cook was incredible! His band is top notch, and you can tell they all enjoy playing together. Mr. Cook engaged with the audience and made sure we knew how happy he was to be there. He played a lot of his own songs and did some fantastic covers, too. He got the entire audience up on their feet and dancing, and what a blast we all had! Definitely one of the better shows I ve seen in my life. If Jesse Cook comes to you venue near you, don t miss him. I hope he comes back to Raleigh soon so I can see him and his wonderful band again!

All performers were extremely impressive, Chris is the best, wow!! What a talented musician. I wish I would have taken my entire family because everyone would have enjoyed it. We had a wonderful unforgettable evening. I do hope Jesse and his band members put NC on their routine schedule. My husband and I love them.

Show was great. A bit short but impressive. Very talented group of musicians playing latin/rhumba music with classical/middle eastern and other influences. I wish I could play Aux. Percussion with this band! I currently play in Asheville with the band Lyric. Thanks again for your performance!

Took my 86 yo mother. Jesse s music had her dancing in the aisle. Beautiful, soulful music. All members of the band are so talented. Looking forward to their next concert!

Loved it from end to end! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This was our first time at such a small venue for a concert. It was so personal by comparison. We would have gone to any venue to see Jesse but were so pleasantly surprised by the Birchmere we would definitely go there again.Parking was extremely easy and quick. The wait staff was courteous and prompt. Jesse certainly did not disappoint either. This was our first Jesse concert but we would follow him elsewhere as well. That was the best Wednesday night we've had in a long time.

Unforgettable performance. From start to finish Jessie and his band are master musicians. An unmatched guitar talent and a concert that was intimate and full of energy.

This was my first chance to see Jesse Cook live, and my first visit to Kzoo State Theater..... It was by far the best live music experience I have had in my 50pljs years..... You MUST experience this venue!

The State Theatre in Kalamazoo Michigan is auspicious to this type of music. Very ghostly atmosphere with great acoustics.

Jesse and his band are truly amazing in terms of talent. Friendly and educatonal too. I felt like I had been invited to their private jam session.

Amazing group of musicians! Jesse Cook is a virtuoso player, but his entire ensemble is extremely talented. The entire show was outstanding, start to finish. Great, fun interaction with crowd, and they did some surprising cover tunes with some Latin flair. Excellent show! If you're considering going, stop considering and just go!

This was a wonderful experience. Had never seen Jesse perform and it was worth the trip to Kazoo. Great show....HIGH ENERGY! Jesse and his band are amazing. Would see him again in a heartbeat.

Jessie Cook and his band were amazing! The blend of styles made me feel as if I were traveling around the globe.

I cannot describe how stellar this show was. I felt like I was being treated to something truly special and was mesmerized by the talent onstage. I was absolutely honored to experience Jesse Cook live.

Loved everything about Jesse and his musicians. This is music you can get lost in. Amazing. I did not want it to end. He had several oncors and each time he came out was better than the last. I gave tickets to my husband for our anniversary and it made our night special.

Jesse and the band were incredible. The sound was out of this world. I saw them 2 years ago and this was better!!
