As both an assured band leader and a valued sideman, guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg has been steadily burnishing his reputation as one of the most compelling composer/performers on the New York scene. He’s been a key contributor to various bands led by organist Dr. Lonnie Smith and also has gigged and/or recorded with Lee Konitz, Joe Locke, and Don Friedman; as a leader on his own dates, Kreisberg has been able to enlist the talents of drummer Bill Stewart and organist Gary Versace (among other skilled players) for albums on Criss Cross, Mel Bay, and his own imprint New For Now Music. To herald the release of a new CD, Capturing Spirits – JKQ Live!, Kreisberg has assembled an exceptional quartet for this Jazz Standard one–nighter including the gifted pianist Martin Bejerano (check out his album Trio Miami as well as his work on discs by master drummer Roy Haynes and the great guitarist Russell Malone). This is an evening not to be missed, trust Dr. Lonnie Smith when he says Kreisberg is “A passionate musician with great vision…constantly in fiery pursuit of innovation.” (Dr. Lonnie Smith) Jonathan Kreisberg – guitar  Martin Bejerano – piano  Matt Clohesy - bass Colin Stranahan – drums
