The ultimate Jesse Cook June 4, 2008
Living in Australia we don't have the luxury of frequent concerts by Jesse Cook in our neighbourhood. Hence I've only heard (and loved) him on CDs. My daughter bought me the DVD for Mother's day - and I was utterly enchanted! The group look so comfortable with each other and their music. I was spellbound for 1 1/2 hours. I LOVE it! It helped of course that they played some of my favorite songs. Keep up the great work Jesse. from a devoted fan 'Down Under' Elly mcLean
Playlist details April 25, 2008
I just saw my second Jesse Cook concert and was hoarse from screaming with delight from the performances - especially Chris Church's violin on Closer to Madness and his singing on Fall At Your Feet which brings me to tears it is so beautiful. The group does 2 encores. Jesse is friendly and personable and down-to-earth. Seeing him come to my area only once a year isn't enough hence I bought the DVD.
Special Guests: Ron Sexsmith, Sophie Milman, Melissa McClelland, and Samba Squad.
Here is the playlist from the DVD: 2 hours and 3 minutes:
1. Beloved 2. Rattle and Burn 3. Rain 4. Cafe Mocha 5. Luna Llena 6. Fragile 7. Closer to Madness 8. It Ain't Me Babe 9. Matisse the Cat 10. Air 11. Tempest 12. Querida Amigo 13. Quadkka-l-Mayyas 14. Dance of Spring 15. Mario Takes a Walk 16. Baghdad 17. Baghdad (reprise) 18. Fall At Your Feet 19. Viva
Bonus Features:
Interview with Jesse; Rehearsal and backstage footage; Interviews with guest artists.
 Fine visual example of Jesse Cook's artistry March 26, 2008
I have loved Jesse Cook's music since I first heard the initial release from his debut CD Tempest many years ago on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This DVD shows an unpretentious man who draws an audience into his flamenco-insprired music with his exceptional craftsmanship. The band accompanying him are obviously enjoying themselves and are given opportunity to display their own considerable abilities, though the solo improvisations go on a little too long at times. Some of the guest performers seems to be a little weak in comparison, so only 4 stars. The audience was very appreciative and help to keep the atmosphere charged in the low-key Montreal International Jazz venue.
Why doesn't this guy get more attention? January 26, 2008

I've listened to Jesse for 3-4 years now but just found out about the DVD and purchased it. I haven't ever seen him "live". This DVD is FANTASTIC!! Superb musicianship, great showmanship, and excellent sound. I really felt like I was there. There are so many great performances and everyone contributing is amazing. Closer to Madness, Tempest, Luna Llena, and It Ain't me Babe are my personal favorites. I can't understand how someone this talented is not more recognized. When you see all of the garbage that gets more attention in the music business and then you see this......you realize what a travesty it is. GREAT DVD!!
As wonderful to watch as it is to hear! October 28, 2007

I purchased this DVD a while before I watched it. I own all of the Jesse Cook albums with the exception of The Ultimate Jesse Cook (I believe this is a "best of" album). I have been totally blown away by his music since I put the first CD in my machine. Seeing Jesse and the absolutely super musicians he performs with is a must for any fan. If I could rate this DVD twice and total the stars it would get 10. A great audio-visual investment.
