Jonathan Kreisberg Group - The South Of Everywhere |2008|

[@joggilinjoe]

I love how happy and excited Jonathan looks while he's playing :)

[@olliteirikko]

This is almost too beautiful music to exist. Like a dream.

[@fred8097]

Kreisberg’s tone has that ideal mix of reverberation and punchy crispness that makes me think of a marble hitting a bathroom floor.

[@GeneralEisenhower]

that is like THE jazz guitar tone

[@miguelcastano3210]

too much metheny

[@comojonas]

@@miguelcastano3210 just enough metheny

[@helenamarie4337]

have you heard a stimer on a selmer? 😻

[@michaelcorenzwit8118]

I absolutely love this group performance. The pianist was excellent. Reminds me of the late great Lyle Mays. I will listen to this post several times. 👏

[@michaelcorenzwit8118]

Absolutely fantastic. I wish Jonathan recorded more. 👏👏👏

[@michaelcorenzwit8118]

I am a long time jazz lover, especially the guitar in the hands of great musicians like Jonathan. He reminds me of a past guitar god, Barney Kessel, with his use of chords as melody and his long and interesting lines of improvisation. To me this is a great compliment.

[@bryanalfonso5700]

Jonathan - Time to reform this band and give them a new set of tunes to play! For some reason this group of musicians just worked so well together. Great rhythm section. Great soloists who compliment each other. Ever since COVID, a quintet seems like a big band. I miss quintets and larger bands. I'd like a break from solos, duets and trios...

[@ursusbachthaler566]

agreed :)

[@rafaelmarchanteangulo4582]

impressive!! gorgeous writing and playing, the solos are very inspiring,

[@civilfailure111]

There should be more young people there. If the jam band scene got introduced to this music these guys would be playing festivals with a whole new audience. They could be right up there with medeski and then they would get the recognition they deserve. It's kind of strange, but the jam crowd is the only crowd that really embraces improv, very similar to the beat poets and bebop. Think just how awesome it would be if ari hoenig's punk bop performed green spleen for thousands of people.

[@ctbojar]

I’m here:)

[@stopthatnoise]

Incredible guitarist, he has a great fantasy and creativity, his lines are elegant and modern just like his sound, a few effects but so creamy and surprisingly light. great artist!!!

[@ursusbachthaler566]

very true! :)

[@lkkdlvc]

It's very nice seeing a musician enjoy himself as much as Kreisberg does while playing.

[@4StringsSeth]

He has the greatest taste of any guitarist out there.

[@ursusbachthaler566]

I wouldn't go that far, there are so many wonderful guitarplayers on the scene these days. But he is one of the best improvisers and writes wonderful music!

[@andrewterrien9818]

one of the most beautiful jazz compositions to come down the pike in a long time, capped off by Kriesberg's masterful guitar. Lovely!!!!

[@Fsdrak]

Gary's soloing absolutely moves me, so beautiful...

[@Bubbaboyjr1989]

I want to live in a world where videos like this get over a million views instead of a pitiful 66 thousand. Why can't more people enjoy and appreciate this kind of introspective music?

[@MrPedromarcosvolf]

Yesss Sr!

[@Johaneeeek]

because majority of people are not really interested in music...they just listens to what is being fed to them through radio and what not :- )

[@ClessiusMartinideBarros]

For me the music is a skin of society, most people are sick and consume garbage on a large scale...

[@closed13]

Alot of people have never heard of him and the word jazz stop those that have never really listened to complexities and virtuosity of the artist . What they need to do is see if the artist is well rounded and can play anything. Also how jazz is a civilized form of art .In another words makes you think. Not much of that going on today.

[@krissv3ctor512]

I know this is very late, but why not just let people enjoy what they enjoy? There’s nothing wrong with liking pop music, and there’s nothing wrong with disliking jazz like this.

[@steveowen7475]

Stunning chromatic genius he is a wonderful connector........still 13 years later Jonathan a maestro

[@PaluskaMarketing]

Kreisberg blows us away every time he hits the stage. Brilliant group, too! I had the immense pleasure of one taking in one of Versace's live performances a few years back in Portland, Maine. Kreisberg needs to come to Maine.

[@jiminyguitar]

That piano solo is funking amazing. I'm so impressed. Kinda life changing. Has every elements I hope for in my solo.

[@MasterEyason]

I just want to say...whoever did the camera work and directed this live video production is awesome.

[@AdiStoenescu]

man, the jazz baltica videos are the greatest (best sound by far)

[@ursusbachthaler566]

Killer song, killer band, wonderful gig as a whole!!

[@robertodetree1049]

Amazing!👍

[@reginaldholloway8748]

AWESOME JONATHAN YOUR ONE OF MY GUITAR HEROES AND A VERY SUPER KOOL FRIEND> PEACE

[@abealam]

Nothing wrong with effects! Especially when used like that.. so creative.

[@TomPires]

Éééé, Jonathan e Will...o Gary é fantástico!!! Tenho que estudar...

[@trandrews7494]

first of all, a friend just mentioned JK to me, and this is the first music I've heard/seen by him, and it is simply wonderful. second, i sure wish i had youtube when i was a kid - i would know so much more about guitar by now! thanks for posting this!

[@ClaudeDubé-y6m]

Nice jazz fusion ❤

[@gjfanatique]

I've been listening to JK on a streaming audio-only service. His reach goes far beyond what he is doing here. Every tune I hear JK play is a guitar lesson.

[@Joshualbm]

What a great tune. I think I've been there.

[@gabrielbernier8315]

Such a great song! Still can't believe Jonathan is alternate picking those triplet arpeggios with so much ease.

[@RedgraveGilver]

I swear this is better than the studio version.

[@will4282]

100% agree, every single one of the songs on youtube from this particular concert is that way!!!!

[@Thrasher5251]

Opeth!!!

[@Sandemose]

@@Thrasher5251 thats random, but yes.

[@flangeres1752]

Great tune Jonathan...I always enjoy listening to it! C.G.T. Ukiah,CA

[@roba1899]

I feel much smarter after listening to this piece ..

[@___xyz___]

As someone who thinks in terms of jazz improvisation, I can say with high confidence that you didn't get smarter. But you got more insightful, and possibly capable of reflecting over things you previously had not permitted yourself to consider. Or something like that... Music never did me any favour in the mental department, though.

[@HARDCOREFUCKINREIGNS]

tosin abasi sent me here

[@robinpayneguitar]

It makes me happy that he's turning so many aspiring guitarists' attentions towards the music of Kreisberg and Rosenwinkel. Without a doubt some of the most harmonically intelligent music currently being created on this planet...

[@Travis_Tracey_Guitar]

Robin Payne Couldn't agree more!

[@escherband]

Robin Payne Don't forget Adam Rogers, too!

[@robinpayneguitar]

escherband I absolutely love adam rogers' playing...he's very elastic sometimes it's like he's playing a goddamn squeezebox

[@julianfranji]

Tim Miller!

[@rovikab6561]

Wonderful thanks for post

[@Siska0Robert]

Seen him live yesterday for the first time. Mind blown.

[@callmetheseeker]

Great tune, great solos

[@flangeres1752]

Man, I dig this tune and playing! a lot!!!

[@aidybop]

The best in contemporary jazz!

[@pencap23]

I'm seeing John tonight with Orlando le Fleming and Ari Hoeneg and I can't wait. These videos are incredible, the arrangements sound exactly like they do on the album (except for the solos, of course!). The cinematography is choice. Whoever gave the green light on filming these deserves a shot and a beer.

[@siavashdarmani1190]

That piano solo made my day!

[@flangeres1752]

Fantastic composition and playing. I love it! C. G. T. Ukiah, CA

[@atlas321]

very beautiful.

[@jarbasg1]

Wow,makes me happy!

[@user-rr5jc8sj4q]

Sweet jazzy grooves

[@Bryan313]

How can i replicate jonathan’s guitar tone? Its perfect

[@SOULJAMGO]

beautiful composition

[@theHellzaPoppinjazz4u]

that's really good Sir. respect.

[@mraggrovator]

Fantastic stuff.

[@sosaturdido]

Great guitarist and band, the latest jazz is very interesting, it is a lot less experimental and with a great evolution of sound and harmony. Wish to see him life!

[@yuanfeisun9394]

He is the best!

[@alebarrosv2]

Great! I just missed the sax solo.

[@JMeek]

Wow Jonathan is my hero. And he knows his jazz-faces ;-)

[@cliffworks748]

YES finally a pro video audio!

[@leteriasletedrums5260]

Maravilloso!!!!

[@Joshualbm]

Boy, Gary really gets to the bones and then soars.

[@coltoncrawfordjazz]

Music high...really digging jon's music hard right now :)

[@ioplm4862]

I am so glad I clicked on the KZbin list thing

[@szarany500]

Sehr-sehr gut, respekt!

[@PrashantSamlal]

this is really good!

EXCELLENT JAZZ ¡FELICITACIONES DESDE MÉXICO!

[@flangeres1752]

At 1st I couldn't feel the timing...thanks for the input...sensed that a little 5/4 was in there...still trying to get it...

[@suspect1992beat]

Kriesberg is one of the best guitarist in these times! Great song! Any knows the chords for the part that starts 00.26? :)

[@ShredBaron85]

Cmaj7 -> Em7 -> F#m7 -> Gmaj7

[@Sooxkox]

Yessssss

[@edwinsanchezsoto]

wow!

[@juancacardenas22]

i am in love with him lol

[@dolliinnaa]

Great !

[@giorgijazzcicishvili4113]

its great

[@jean-baptisteberger]

so agree with you!

[@gio12360]

Grande!

[@zcloveguitar]

where can I buy this DVD , I can't find this on amazon. Please help me guys. I really love him.

[@apollodesign]

I can't get enough of his tone! Does anyone know what kind of pickups he uses?

[@TheBobrossmusic]

D'Andrea

[@astahlemusic]

very good musician wish i could play like that haha

[@marconepa2367]

He reminds me of Pat...really great artist!

[@ericking8402]

Title of this should be : Bring back the lady Queen

[@SOULJAMGO]

@iphonehacker333 he uses Borgani with Selmer SS

[@Sandemose]

@y34r Ive seen a chart which says 5/4 which seems quite possible to be accurate. Best, Sandemose

[@ioplm4862]

Because there are not a lot of people who are introspective It scares some people to look deeper into themselves There might be nothing there

[@drummakid101]

5/4 to 5/8. So delicious at this tempo.

[@sdylte]

can someone figure out what he is doing around 3:20 , i can't tell!

[@fishqwer]

@twinkietime103 To be fair jazz WAS mainstream in the big band era of the 1930s. Tin pan alley songs (or standards) are the base of any jazz musicians' repertoire and were the modern day equivalent of pop tunes.

[@Sandemose]

@DreamTheaterisGod1 yeah, its always like that. I think its really intresting to "know" whats going on in a tune. Sometimes there isnt a clear/exact answer I guess. Best, Sandemose

[@gychoi335]

Oh! Ryan Gosling plays guitar!? Awesome!

[@claaskrause2676]

yes! i couldn't put it together better. and i think - oddly enough - the way he plays matches even better to ballads

[@jiyujizai]

🙂💙

[@Mattcallaway86]

dope

[@mvankl]

What is the best scale to use for jazz guitar improvisation? Is there a specific scale or set of scales he (the guitarist) is using here?

[@damiantiderecha]

does anyone kwons the guitar solo chords?

[@Brucetatu]

tema in 10/8?

[@jussaraaldrenceciliosouza8288]

monstroooooooooo

[@BrandonVMoore1]

Oddly enough, that's why I like Martino. Generally, I think breathing is important but Martino is something of an anomaly. Somehow it's just not overbearing the way he does it.

[@y34r]

@FreddyFreeds i'm sure its 10 ,but not sure its /4 or /8

[@apollodesign]

@3:31 his mouthing is perfect with what he's playing - not that the rest of his soloing isn't - but it looks as if the "bup bup bup" is actually coming from his mouth haha.

[@flangeres1752]

I always dig 5/4.....not that I'm a real Dave Brubeck fan.......I have an original in 5/4 with a kind of Ralph Towner feel....then there's Etna by Anthony Wilson...and I'm sure a host of others. I dig "South of Everywhere" Cheers, Charlie

[@sosaturdido]

@mvankl there are no "best scale", jazz is not like rock where you use almost the same scale during a song. There are modulations, you can use different scales on different chords, for example on a m7 a dorian and on a dominant7 a myxolydian or a ionian on a major7 or a locrian on a min7b5... beside this you can use arpeggios, triads....

[@finlandmetalfan]

well, i wast the one who asked it, but FUCKING THANKS YOU MAN !!!!!

[@teistix]

Actually, it looks more like ;-O>

[@jgl2222]

lol, my guitar instructor said he wishes Martino was a sax player so he'd be forced to breath

[@suspect1992beat]

@jonjacquemoud1 Thank you! I'll work on it :)
