To classify Vertigo as new age almost does it a disservice; not because the elements aren't there, but because the term doesn't adequately describe the music on this CD. Jesse Cook performs the blend of flamenco and various world music styles that is Vertigo with a gentle yet enthusiastic style, so that the up-tempo "That's Right!" (as with Miles Davis's "So What," you can hear the title phrase in the music) and slightly bluesy "Avocado" are just as great to listen to as the slower, cinematic "Cancion Triste" (featuring cellist Ofra Harnoy) or "Breathing Below Surface." Holly Cole's vocals on "Fragile" are a special treat; while Cook's guitar is the reason to get this CD, he never overrides his guest stars. Vertigo is exciting without being intrusive, soothing without putting you to sleep. --Genevieve Williams

Summary: Something Different, Something Great 2007-01-06
Comment: I was introduced to the music of Jesse Cook by a friend. Usually new music has to grow on me before I realize I like it. In this case I was immediately drawn to the music and enjoyed it from the word go. I especially like the opening number on Vertigo. It is so fun and lively. Almost seems like a spontaneous production, very candid and personal.

Summary: Just so good! 2006-06-28
Comment: I bought this album for the song "Fragile" featuring Holly Cole doing the vocals. That song is great, but I found that all the tracks were great. What an incredible guitar talent and he's backed by several other talented people.
Just a great cd!

Summary: Wow this really is a good c.d. 2006-04-04
Comment: I have never heard of this c.d. or the of J. Cook before I heard one of his cuts on XM and had to pick it up. I like every track and hope to buy more of his c.d.'s.
I am a painter/artist and this is the perfect stuff for me to create to.
