Jonathan Kreisberg

Guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg offers transformed from artwork rocker to fusion hero to jazz traditionalist — all in the period of ten years. The indigenous New Yorker transferred to South Florida as a kid in 1975; he remained long plenty of to graduate from the esteemed University of Miami music system (going to from 1990 to 1994), and developed a large plenty of fan base right now there to fuel a profession back in ny, where he came back in 1998. Primarily influenced by rock and roll guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and Steve Vai, Kreisberg developed new musical strategies to explore with the addition of the impact of traditional composer Claude Debussy, jazz pianist Keith Jarrett, and English fusion guitarist Allan Holdsworth. After graduating from university, the open-minded youthful musician documented a 1995 Compact disc using the group Wyscan, mixing components of the organizations Yes, Ruler Crimson, and U.K. Bassist Javier Carrion and drummer Vince Verderame also documented on Kreisberg’s self-titled 1996 jazz/fusion debut. Addresses of the specifications “Someday My Prince SHOULD COME” and “We’ll Become Together Once again” hinted in the fledgling artist’s long term, and after many East Coast trips, Kreisberg shifted to Manhattan and Verderame to NEVADA while Carrion remained in South Florida (ultimately working with well-known performers from K.C. & sunlight Music group to guitarist Randy Bernsen). Eschewing his Fender Stratocasters and only Gibson hollow-bodied guitars, Kreisberg didn’t hurry his documenting profession while immersing himself into New York’s traditional jazz picture. Gigs with high-profile performers like drummer Lenny White colored (Go back to Forever), bassist Jeff Andrews (NECESSARY INFORMATION), and saxophonists Greg Tardy and Joel Frahm helped, as well as the guitarist moved into the 21st hundred years in both a jazz specifications trio (which Kreisberg phone calls his “interpretations group”) and a genuine quartet (his “compositions group”). Kreisberg’s early-2002 pursuits consist of his trio (with bassist Johannes Weidenmueller and drummer Ari Hoenig) liberating its Trioing Compact disc, a tour of Japan with drummer Donald Edwards, as well as the launching from the guitarist’s site (www.jonathankreisberg.com). The trio’s materials, including John Coltrane’s “Countdown” and Herbie Hancock’s “Sorcerer,” display that this increasing star’s career isn’t only proceeding north geographically.
