AARON GOLDBERG TRIO

The New York Times has called Aaron Goldberg a “post-bop pianist of exemplary taste and range”, and over a career spanning three decades he has more than earned that distinction. Born in Boston, Goldberg discovered jazz in high school under the guidance of bassist Bob Sinicrope, and later studied with saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi before moving to New York at seventeen to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. DownBeat magazine has praised his “quick witted harmonic reflexes, fluid command of line, and cut-to-the-chase sense of narrative logic.”

Goldberg’s career has placed him at the center of some of jazz’s most important collaborations. He toured extensively with Joshua Redman, joined the bands of Kurt Rosenwinkel and Wynton Marsalis, and performed worldwide with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. He has also collaborated with Charles Lloyd, Madeleine Peyroux, Betty Carter, Freddie Hubbard, and Guillermo Klein, among many others, and somehow found time to earn a master’s degree in philosophy from Tufts along the way. He is a Steinway artist and a member of the celebrated collaborative trio Yes! with Omer Avital and Ali Jackson Jr.
