Flamenco fusions and Dylan rhumbas
Jesse Cook was among a wave of flamenco inspired guitarists who came along in the wake of Ottmar Liebert's Nouveau Flamenco. But he's risen above the crowd with a combination of charismatic showmanship and melodically driven tunes. Jesse comes to the Echoes studio with his band to talk about life after children and turning a Bob Dylan tune into a Rhumba.

AN INTERVIEW WITH ALU
Macabre imagery reveals a dream world
Alu is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, who creates ambient soundscapes for her songs of lost innocence, cultural ennui and interior dialogues.
