Questions:

Jazz guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and his quartet close out the festival. Fresh off a European tour, Kreisberg is joined by Or Bareket on bass, Martin Bejerano on piano and Karl-Henrik Ousback on drums. 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 as well artists such as Lonnie Smith, who says of Kreisberg “He is a passionate musician with great vision, and he is constantly in fiery pursuit of innovation.” Kreisberg  has now recorded Ten CDs as a leader, including his latest two albums, “CAPTURING SPIRITS - JKQ LIVE!” and “KREISBERG MEETS VERAS”, the first being his first live album with his dynamic new quartet and the second a document of his great musical friendship with nylon string genius Nelson Veras.
