Eight Gigs: Jesse Cook
Wed., Feb. 3, 6:30 p.m., Crest Theatre, $49-$69
Guitar genius Jesse Cook believes that location influences music. For the last 20 years, he’s traveled the world over, collaborating and recording with musicians far and wide. Even though he decided to make his 2015 album One World in his home studio, the locales he has visited still shine through. The Flamenco guitar is front and center, sometimes jaunty and staccato, other times jazzy and contemplative, with wistful string melodies pulling it along. Each song unites Cook’s influences into a smooth and well-produced introspection of the interconnectedness of all music genres: thus, One World. 1013 K Street, www.jessecook.com.
