James Clement Cook
James Clement Cook (born March 13, 1959 in Huntington, New York) is an American musician, writer, and film and television producer. For three years, 1996–1999, he designed and built Experimental musical instrument for Blue Man Group. He is also known as Jimmy Cook.
After the Asian tsunami of 2004, he traveled to Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) to participate in food relief with Food For Life Global, the world's largest vegetarian food relief organization. It was there that he met Nandarani Devi, a Hare Krishna devotee who ran an orphanage raising children from both sides of Sri Lanka's ethnic conflict between Singhalese and Tamil Hindu communities. Inspired to help expand the children's home, he produced and directed the film Amma Means Mother.[1] When the film was released on a Vimeo site, it received over 89,000 hits the first day. The film is narrated by F.Murray Abraham and features music by Nick Lowe, The Smithereens, Astrud Gilberto and Trini Lopez.
Cook is a bassist and guitarist with a strong background in jazz, rock, and experimental music.
