Jonathan Kreisberg Trio
New For Now
[Criss Cross]
A distinctive technique and flair is needed to bring the guitar front and centre in jazz. Kreisberg brings it home in spades on New for Now with melody, harmony, rhythm and texture. It doesn’t hurt having virtuosos Gary Versace on the Hammond B3 and Mark Ferber on drumkit. They make Kreisberg’s new compositions delightful and pump life into a few traditional songs. Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust seem like it was written yesterday afternoon rather than in 1927. Makes you wanna go ‘Whoof!’
