Music reviews of Nomad
Music Review: Jesse matures, continues to expand
Rating: 5 Stars
Some people have said that this is a real departure for Jesse. I think they haven't been paying attention. He's been going this direction since his first album. Jessi is becoming increasingly fascinated with different music from around the world, and you shouldn't think it's a new trend. Remember, Jessi has been a musician for a long time -- if I recall correctly from when I received his first CD for my radio show, he'd been playing for 15 years at that point! Jessi is NOT a simple musician; he's been around a lot. Yes, his first CD was guitar melodies first and foremost, and yes, he's gotten into different rhythms, instruments, and ethnic influences since then, but it's not an about-face. You could hear it coming on his second album, and I don't mean "in hindsight" because I noticed it then, not now.
Don't confuse Jessi with some jump-on-the-bandwagon artist trying to imitate the successes of folks who've mixed exotic sounds with cool techno and made it big, or jumped in with "Oh, Riverdance is hot, let me have Liam O'Flinn play the bagpipes on my next album" like some artists. Jessi's not trying to make money off of a fad, and if you're concerned that's what this album is like, don't be. I don't want you to read other reviews and think this is another Deep Forest knock-off with guitar thrown in. This is Jessi Cook sharing his musical interests and talents with us.
I think this album is a testimony to Jessi's broad horizons and diverse influences, and as far as I'm concerned it's a success.
Description of Nomad
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Popular Canadian flamenco phenomena Jesse Cook toured the world putting together the aptly titled Nomad, his fifth album. As with past efforts, Cook's lightning runs and strong flamenco rhythms are fused with Arabic and Indian rhythms and textures, Western pop vocals, and hip ambient production values not unlike a Buddha Bar collection. He also again gets some nice turns from an impressive list of guest musicians: Nomad's guests include Flora Purim, Afro Celts, the BoDeans, Hossam Ramzy, who each add their own touch. While this kind of cross-genre pollination will not endear Cook to the flamenco purists (even if there is a fair amount of flamenco's classic handclapping rhythms), there are some real strengths to the album. Cook's knowledge of his music allows him to step in out of the tradition, knowing what works without trying to force the issue. Moreover, Cooks solos bristle with the kind of energy one doesn't hear every day, even in the fiery field of flamenco. --Tad Hendrickson
