Just saw Jesse Cook...yeaow!

Just got home from a Jesse Cook concert.  For some unknown reason he's never come across my radar until recently.  I saw him at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center..nice venue.   Wow.  What a concert & artist(s).  Mix Flamenco with Arabia and South Asia..toss in a smudge of Dead Can Dance.  If you're not familiar..check the group out..or better yet..see them if you can. Fun show, great music, played nearly 2 hours. Such talent.

Glad you enjoyed the show.

Never hard him live but have spent some time listening to this album.

Some of it I like quite a lot.  Other bits seem awfully smooth jazz/new age-y.  

Different strokes, I guess.  No question about his talent, however.

Glad you were not offended.  Didn't know Jesse Cook's Narada roots.  That explains things a bit.  The best tracks on Gravity are engaging and not at all smooth jazz/new age.  They display has his own "voice" as it were.  If you like "classic"/traditional jazz you'll probably enjoy the Jazz Aficionados thread if you haven't come across that yet.
