All of his albums are either great or very good. Would recommend it to Jesse Cook lovers. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome...again and again. April 25 2010 By RUM Ba Cardi:) The new DVD is about what you'd expect from Cook, and that is nothing less than superb. Obviously for Cook fans, it's a must own. If you're new to Cook, get Live at the Metropolis and this one. Trust me. I think it's evident that when you meet the cast of characters that went into the making of The Rumba Foundation cd, you soon realise that this is a collective process that came straight from the heart and soul and from many different regions and cultures. As Chris Church points out, even after nine years, he doesn't get bored with this kind of music and the people that play it. Yeah, I'm sure it'd be a thrill, nor to mention absolute joy and fun to be on stage playing this music on a regular basis and you can see that while watching this. There's a sincerity and genuiness about this music and a fiery passion from the people who play it--these people are having FUN! This DVD is different than the last, which was a straight out live concert, as this one has more extras and bonuses such as, meeting the players, new and old, some history lessons on Rumba, a section on Cook's fingernails, Juergas( music parties that break out on a whim? sounds good to me) and on and on. Of course there is great playing on this, and great concert footage, as well as private sessions, but there's just so much more. I especially like the shot of Cook playing his guitar in front of the fountain that precedes each chapter. There you get a great shot of his awesome picado and other technigues. If you love his latest cd as much as I do, you owe it to yourself to buy this DVD and see how how it came about. This is an awesome DVD that I'll be watching over and over again.
