House Concert'cast #1
November 13 2010, Orlando FL:
The first Jazz On Edge house/web concert was also the first house concert for Orlando-based Gypsy guitar band The Cook Trio, and featured readings by cookbook author and memoirist Belinda Hulin, and poet Sharon Hoffmann.
"an acoustic energy that is electric"
Two guitars and a standup bass are all that's needed to produce the haunting and beautiful sounds of
The Cook Trio.
Ian and Jason Cook and Kyle Jones demonstrate an artistry that calls back to Django
Reinhardt and looks forward to nights in Paris and days in the hot Florida
sun. The Trio is by turns explosive and serene, and you won't believe how
fast Jason Cook's fingers can move, or how deeply you will be moved.
