An award-winning bassist, winner of a scholarship to the Berklee School of music, and veteran of the road, Cooke has played with the Diamonds, James Cotton, Buzz Upshaw, Tony Springer (Wild T and the Spirit, Fire), Mother Tongue and Njacko Backo to name a very few
Captures his edgy blues-and-funk-soaked sound and raw emotion in a stripped-down studio setting with guitarist Damian Arokium, bassist Leo Valvassori and drummer Al Webster. All in all, it's a potent mix, one that combines the vibrant musical legacy of decades past with a passion and an urgency that constantly renews itself
His new indie CD is an ambitious effort that fully captures the dynamic range and powerful emotional playing of an extraordinary axeman, from acoustic to electric, from Robert Johnson to letting his "freak flag" fly on the explosive instrumental Soul Search
