Editorial Reviews

2007 release from the Toronto-based Nuevo Flamenco guitarist, his sixth studio effort (and seventh album overall). Like other guitarists of his style of music, he incorporates Jazz, Latin and World music into his playing. The album sessions were recorded at Coach House Music in Canada and Cook composed all of the pieces (save one, a cover of Bob Dylan's 'It Ain't Me Babe'), inspired by a trip to Spain and the birth of his first son. Backing musicians include Chris Church, Art Avalos, Chendy Leon, Ross MacIntire, Kevin Fox, Gary Craig, Melissa McClelland, Amanda Martinez and Maryem Tollar. Some of his inspiration for Frontiers comes from a temporary move with his wife to Seville, Spain. 13 tracks. EMI. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jesse Cook Frontiers, July 20, 2007

I've been anticipating the release of this album for some time since I am a huge Jesse Cook fan and this new master-piece does not disappoint.
The feel of the album is very different compared to previous releases but I find myself lost in a new intrigue of musical passion as I enjoy the energetic tempo of songs like, "Matisse the Cat" and "Havana". Melissa McClelland's rich voice aligns beautifully with a brilliant arrangement of Bob Dylan's, "It Ain't Me Babe". I found several songs, such as "Turning" and "Europa" very ethereal and magical. If you are a Jesse Cook fan or just love the sound of a beautiful guitar, this CD is a must!

Different than his other CDs, more introspective, more feeling.
A good range from the very upbeat "Matisse the Cat" the smooth
"Cafe Mocha", the driving beat of "Havana" to the most tender
feeling guitar solo I have ever heard, "Alone" which I could listen
to endlessly. But that's the quality that describes Jesse's
music, you can never get enough.

I am an avid music collector. Virtually every style except rap, and heavy heavy metal. I own literally thousands of albums. Jesse Cook is, in my humble opinion, the most talented acoustic guitar player I have ever heard. I love his music. The DVD included with this album is worth the price of the album alone! What a sound! I easily give five stars to all of his recordings. I own them all, with the exception of THE ULTIMATE JESSE COOK.(no need for a greatest hits album when one owns all of the albums!) A must for all serious music lovers, not just lovers of flaminco.
