Details: Jesse Cook 'The Rumba Foundation': Musicians often speak of influences and for Juno award winning guitarist Jesse Cook the genesis of his musical inspiration came from a region in southern France called the Camargue. It was there that Cook spent many summers of his youth, wandering the streets among the Gypsies who inhabit the area, soaking up the atmosphere and listening to the likes of Nicolas Reyes, lead singer of the flamenco group Gypsy Kings, who just happened to live next door. With the recent success of Cook's last album Frontiers, he is back in the studio working on his much anticipated follow up, 'The Rumba Foundation', set for release in September 2009. The single from Cook's upcoming album will be 'Cecilia', which features Juno nominee Jeremy Fisher as a guest vocalist. The new album also features the traditional folkloris cumbia group, Los Gaiteros, who Cook recently returned from recording with in Columbia. International demand for Jesse has risen dramatically over the last year. In 2008, Cook travelled extensively performing at the Singapore Sun Festival, headlining the Dubai Jazz Festival, selling out a performance in Kuala Lumpur and performing in London and Dublin. 2009 has already seen Cook play in Poland, with plans to perform in Italy, Malta and Turkey later this year and return to London, Dublin and Poland before returning to tour North America in early 2010.
