Guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg, is bringing his masterful yet unique sound to Walton Arts Center on Friday, Dec. 6 at 7:30 pm. Learn more about this “must see” performance from our in-house jazz expert, Robert Ginsburg.  

Kreisberg has been building his name as one of the most compelling composers and performers in jazz. A true virtuoso on guitar, Kreisberg combines pyrotechnic chops with a sensitivity to lyrics and harmony that reaches aficionados and casual fans equally. 

 “Audiences should expect passion, vision and innovation in Kreisberg’s approach. He is a master at selecting bandmates that share a telepathic understanding of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts,” Ginsburg said. “Kreisberg’s masterful technique, total commitment to the music and deep empathy for his audience is what makes his performances unique.” 

This performance contains a heavy dose of Kreisberg’s original compositions that are so well conceived they will stick in your head and leave you wanting more. This concert marks the guitarist’s return to Starr Theater, where he first appeared as a sideman to Hammond B-3 organist, Dr. Lonnie Smith. In this performance, he captured audiences with his brilliance, now, he leads his own band and shines even brighter.
