Jonathan Kreisberg: A Spirit Captured in Constant Motion
by Friedrich Kunzmann
Over 3,000 miles separate New York City from Europe. A distance that feels a little smaller every day—traveled in a virtual way in less than a second, even physically in a matter of only roughly 7 hours. Musicians especially are prone to crossing the pond rather frequently. New York-based guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg tends to make the ...
Jonathan Kreisberg: Capturing Spirits - JKQ Live!
by Friedrich Kunzmann
Throughout his over 30 year-spanning career, Jonathan Kreisberg has made a name for himself that reaches beyond his reputation as a dexterous bop-guitarist that frames him as a leading composer of the modern jazz variety.

On the Road, Fellini & All That Jazz
by Ludovico Granvassu
The Road. A place that inspires both composing music and listening to it. In this episode of Mondo Jazz we'll focus on music about a road to Timbuktu, French, Italian and Brooklyn streets, being on the road and the road as a metaphor for a jazzist's necessary openness to the unexpected. Not to mention, ...
Eric Le Lann: I Remember Chet
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
French trumpeter Eric Le Lann has a bit part in Bertrand Tavernier's 1986 film Round Midnight, the story of a French jazz fan's friendship with wayward American jazz musician Dale Turner, played by tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon. Le Lann plays a French jazz trumpeter--not much of a stretch. More to the point, the film's story mirrored, ...
