It’s been more than 25 years since guitarist Jesse Cook first stepped onto the scene with his now-iconic release, Tempest. In the time since, he has come to hold 10 Gold and Platinum studio albums with a combined sales of 2+ million copies, five concert DVDs and live discs, five PBS specials, and multiple awards— including a Juno and an Acoustic Guitar Magazine Player’s Choice Silver Award. His latest album, Libre, was chosen as JazzTrax’s 2021 Album of the year and also earned a feature in Guitar Player Magazine.
