Tonight I went to the Jesse Cook show at the Orpheum. He is, by far, my favourite musician.
He played a good number of songs from his new cd, among them Broken Moon and Ocean Blue, but the best songs were I Put A Spell On You and Ne Me Quitte Pas, with the lovely and sensual Emma-Lee present on stage.
He also played his classics, among them Mario Takes A Walk, Switchback, and Tempest. He played Gravity, a song he said he rarely plays, and more recent songs such as Bogota By Bus and Cecilia. But without a doubt his best songs were Gaita and the ultra-classic Closer to Madness (what a brilliant name for the song).
Exquisite.
