While recognized for his band leading skills on his international tours and countless CD's (as well as side man work with Dr. Lonnie Smith, Joe Locke, and Ari Hoenig among others) One marks guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg's first recording made up of entirely solo guitar performances.The program boasts a daring range of material and introduces the world to his unique polyphonic approach. Although at times it's hard to believe, the entire recording is one man on one track. Modern jazz, a Brazilian mythical tale, folk, and improvised music for an imaginary science fiction soundtrack are all refracted through Kreisberg's prism to create a bold and complete tale.
