Last year, Presberg released his second album, Outcries from a Sea of Red, and continues to push his natural, earnest sound whether he’s on tour or playing a show here in St. Louis, which he does often. A full tone, usually rounded out by healthy doses of organ, oscillates through the informal jamming. Riffs drift around and linger like smoke or the smell of coffee. Presberg takes in the atmosphere and lets his thoughts out through his guitar, aspiring to breathe his own life into the rich history of jazz guitarists.
