Hoodoo is a body of magical practices and folidore that finds its American origins among southern blacks during the days of slavery. A Hoodoo "conjurer" would create concoctions and potions for the purposes of protection, love, luck and healing. As a musical parallel, Hoodoo Man songs are meant to be a fun, uplifting experience. It is apparent on Jesse's debut CD as the Hoodoo Man with songs like "Mendin' Ya Wayz," "Hoodoo Man," and "Wrong Kind of Woman" that angst and heavy heartedness have no place in his musical vision. But it is live where the Hoodoo magic seems to actually flow, as demonstrated by live versions of the same songs that Jesse sent along with the studio CD. "This music cuts across all age groups," said Jesse, who performs often at places like the Oasis in New Paltz. "It's very danceable. The average age at the Oasis is 19-20 years old. They won't let us leave the stage."
The music itself seems to attract musicians, Jesse said who often works with fairly large-sized bands that include horns. "Musicians who work with me are willing to do it for free because they love this music," he said.
