Jonathan Kreisberg
Electric Guitar Solo on
From The Ashes

About

Jonathan Kreisberg takes an open-form electric guitar solo on "From The Ashes," one of the more adventurous tracks on his album New For Now. Without a fixed chorus structure, his improvisation over the Latin rhythmic backdrop in B minor at approximately 139 BPM builds with patient intensity, his lines growing from melodic fragments into sweeping improvisational arcs. As the first of two soloists, his extended statement demonstrates the trio's ability to create coherent musical narratives without the safety net of repeated chord changes. The open form represents a departure from the more structured compositions elsewhere on the album, revealing a capacity for longer-form improvisational storytelling.

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