Yale Undergraduate Jazz Collective Jazz Festival: Jonathan Kreisberg Performance

Guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg has been steadily building his name as one of the most compelling composer/performers in Jazz. Combining timeless melodicism with forward thinking lines and textures, his style and approach has created a strong following of fans around the world.  He frequently tours worldwide and records with his own groups and played for 12 years with the late Dr. Lonnie Smith, who said of Kreisberg “He is a passionate musician with great vision, and he is constantly in fiery pursuit of innovation.”  For the concert at Yale, Jonathan will bring his trio featuring Rick Rosato on bass and Karl Henrik Ousback on drums, two up and coming virtuoso improvisors.   They will perform a combination of original music from “Capturing Spirits- JKQ Live!” and some unique takes on classic tunes that should create a special evening of music.
