About
Jonathan Kreisberg takes a six-chorus electric guitar solo on the title track of his 2004 album New For Now, a driving original composition that showcases the trio's collective energy. At approximately 266 BPM over the 16-bar form in D minor, his lines cascade through the changes with a fluency that recalls both the bebop tradition and more contemporary approaches to guitar improvisation. As the first of three soloists, his six-chorus tour de force establishes the piece as the album's centerpiece, the up-tempo swing feel and minor tonality creating an urgent, propulsive character. The track also served as the name for Kreisberg's own record label, signaling his commitment to music rooted in tradition yet unmistakably modern.
Jonathan Kreisberg was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
