Gold record and ten platinum. Five live DVDs and live concert CDs. Five special appearances for PBS. One Juno Award. Nine nominations. One Gemini Award. Three-time Canadian Smooth Jazz Award. Thousands of concerts in dozens of countries. Millions of views on Youtube. Countless fans around the world. This is a short but incomplete summary of Jesse Cook's nearly 30-year musical career.

Jesse Cook, although he does not play typical flamenco, was recognized by the Acoustic Guitar magazine as the second, after Paco de Lucía, best flamenco guitarist in 2009. Dan Farrant on the portal Hello Music Theory placed Jesse in the top 11 of the greatest and most famous flamenco guitarists in the world, right after Paco de Lucía, Tomatito and Vicente Amigo. Jesse Cook's music is a unique fusion of many genres, and the artist himself admits that he draws inspiration from many sources, not only flamenco, but also Latin American, Indian and Arabic music.
