Born in Paris in 1964 to photographer and filmmaker John Cook and Heather Cook, and raised in the region in southern France known as the Camargue, Jesse Cook grew up with the sounds and influences of Gypsy music. Guitarist Manitas de Plata, who lived in the Camargue, and Nicolas Reyes, lead singer of the flamenco group Gipsy Kings, who just happened to live next door, heavily inspired him.
Cook has recorded six studio albums and traveled the world exploring musical traditions that he has blended into his style of rumba flamenco. In addition to headlining concerts and festivals, he has opened for such legends as B.B. King, Ray Charles and Diana Krall.
