"Despite his sometimes astonishing facility, or maybe because of it, Kreisberg tries to cultivate humility when he plays. His melodies, sometimes acrobatic, sometimes lyrical, often convey surprising emotional depth.” - Allen Morrison, Jazz Times

"Jonathan is a great musician whose playing and writing always tell a story. His formidable technique and intellect never get in the way, but only serve the agenda of the heart." - Joe Locke, Vibraphonist & Composer

"Jonathan is a passionate musician with great vision, and he is constantly in fiery pursuit of innovation." - Dr. Lonnie Smith, Organist & Composer
