Jesse Cook - Jesse Cook knows a thing or two about frontiers. Over the course of a dozen years and numerous best-selling albums, the virtuoso guitarist has explored the outer limits of popular music, breaking new ground with each successive recording. In the past, Cook has blended African percussion, Cajun accordion, classical cello and pop vocals with his own rumba flamenca style to create a thrilling, multi-textured global hybrid. And he's traveled far afield-from London to Cairo-to collaborate with some of the world's best musicians.

For Frontiers, his sixth studio album, Cook pushed himself in entirely new ways. In search of inspiration, the Paris-born, Toronto-based musician and his wife moved to Seville, Spain - "the source, the Mecca of flamenco music," he calls it - to absorb the influences. "I'd been to Seville before, but never to live" explains Cook. "Spain produces virtuoso guitarists the way Canada produces hockey players. Waking up there each day, meeting incredible musicians day and night, it was very exciting. I felt like a student again, picking up all these new techniques."

Sahnas Brothers - Beautifully blending the sounds and rhythms of their native Greek culture with the warm, inviting romance of the classical Spanish guitar, brothers Thano and Demitri Sahnas have created a magical and intimate Mediterranean style that perfectly complements the powerful jazz-fusion of their popular Phoenix based band Turning Point. Sahnas—as the brothers are collectively known—has enthralled thousands of people at clubs and arts and crafts festivals throughout the Southwest with their unique hybrid sound.
