Description

|
This Brooklyn based guitarist's impressive sixth album as a leader builds on swing and bop roots in music that ranges from Irving Berlin's "The Best Thing for You" to many fine originals, like "Straight Resolutions." "He blazes forth with lyrically-rich single note flurries, but tones it down in spots, where prismatic voicings come to fruition amid his complex unison choruses with Versace and saxophonist Will Vinson."—All About Jazz "Young and gifted jazz guitarists lurk around every corner these days. New York native Jonathan Kreisberg has managed to stand out by making genuinely distinctive recordings…. Kreisberg's interest in odd meters is often apparent; a slowly unfurling but ultimately swift 7/8 version of 'Stella by Starlight' is a vibrant example…. Ultimately, though, the original compositions exert the strongest pull. Nothing on the album is more intriguing than 'Kiitos,' a multifaceted quintet performance charged by Will Vinson's keening alto sax and Kreisberg's burning intensity. The alluring 'Elena,' in sharp contrast, is a spacious minor-key ballad distinguished by the guitarist's glowing tone and lyrical phrasing."—Washington Post
