Jordan is a friend of mine from Saskatoon and  has just released his latest cd. I have put this page up for those who visit my site because this cd has really impressed me.  I have been listening to it for about a week now and it just gets better as I listen to it.    I  have known Jordan since he was about 10 .  He is a natural showman. Great guitarist, solid mature voice, great song writing and excellent band behind him.  Here are some of the reviews etc on the net ......   Just to give you a bit of background on this young musician, he has been performing since he was about 8. By the time he was 15; he shared the main stage with B.B. King at the 1999 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.  He and his young band were invited to  perform in the Jazz Café with the possibility that he might be invited to guest performing in one or two headline shows on the main stage. He got to play  with some absolute greats including Van Morrison, Edgar Winter, B.B. King, and blew away the promoters and audiences. The Jordan Cook Band, comprised of Cook, bass guitarist S.J. Kardash and drummer Danny White, was named "the revelation band'' of the festival and held over to headline his own night.  Organizers scrambled to print posters trumpeting the presence of a striking new talent. The band's European debut at Montreux was scheduled to last eight days, but with extra club dates and appearances it stretched to two weeks. It could have gone on for months had the boys been able to accept blues artist Gary Moore's invitation to join him on what became a sold-out tour of the continent. But school and other responsibilities had to be given priority. Meeting and playing with people like King, Moore, Taj Mahal, Rick Derringer and Edgar Winter was a huge thrill, Cook said in an interview at his Saskatoon home. He was amazed to hear that, two months after Montreux, Winter told the widely-syndicated American radio program Rockline that Cook was his favorite guitar player.  Rock and Roll royalty Gary Moore, Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer and the late Jeff Healey went on record suggesting that Jordan Cook may be the finest player in the world. MacLean’s Magazine named Jordan Cook in the “100 Canadians to Watch” issue (he was the youngest profiled). At sixteen he performed as a guest to Tony D at the Ottawa Blues Festival. Here he had one song to win an audience and by its end 8,000 fans were screaming on their feet. The following year Jordan brought his own act to the Ottawa stage opening for Canada’s Tragically Hip. This is where he received to encores before the Hip even hit stage. In 2006 Jordan Cook was the first Canadian Rock artist to tour all across China.  Before returning home he hooked up with song writing production team “The Matrix” in Los Angeles, there Jordan was featured on a documentary with the Matrix’s (Korn, Avril Lavigne) stating he is the most talented artist they’ve worked with.  .............. From the first Canadian rock artist to tour across China, to being declared "the revelation" of Switzerland’s Montreaux Jazz Festival, Jordan Cook has mesmerized audiences around the world. Legendary artists such as B.B King, Van Morrison, Edgar Winter, Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy), and the Aretha Franklin Band have described his performance as iconic. As first mentioned by Jeff Healey "Jordan Cook is the best guitar player in the world today!" One wonders if he had been born with pick in hand. "Today’s music industry is missing the feeling" says, Cook. His live performance vividly puts his word into action. Cook’s vision was to bring ’the feeling’ into a record, and now he presents his new album "SEVEN DEADLY SINS" . The album has been in the works for nearly seven years including a host of great producers and artists. From the addition of raw bass tones of Ben Shepherd (Soundgarden), to Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Elton John, Kayne West). The production had masterworks from the Matrix (Korn, Avril Lavigne) in California to Blair Mackichen from the UK, and Montreal’s Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire).   If you want to hear a great album.... get this cd..  highly recommended !
