Jonathan Kreisberg
Electric Guitar Solo on
Gone With The Wind

About

Jonathan Kreisberg opens his 2004 album New For Now with two choruses of electric guitar on a Latin-flavored arrangement of "Gone With The Wind." At approximately 192 BPM, his clean tone and fluid legato lines navigate the 32-bar ABAC form in E-flat with precision, the Latin rhythmic feel adding a fresh dimension to the Allie Wrubel standard. As the first of two soloists, Kreisberg's two-chorus statement signals the album's intent to balance familiar material with contemporary rhythmic and harmonic approaches. The organ trio format, with Gary Versace on Hammond organ and Mark Ferber on drums, is given a more modern and harmonically adventurous treatment than the soul jazz tradition typically associated with this instrumentation.

Jonathan Kreisberg was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
