Aaron Goldberg: Unfolding

Read "Unfolding" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

Read "Unfolding" reviewed by Jim Santella

Impressionism drives the jazz piano trio. Aren't we all storytellers? Listeners' interpretations can vary, and that's what makes art special. Just let yourself go. On his second recording as leader, Aaron Goldberg unfolds seven original stories and two classic pieces. His trio works in close proximity, with an intuitive feel.

Aaron Goldberg: Turning Point

Read "Turning Point" reviewed by Jim Santella

by Jim Santella

Pianist Aaron Goldberg, who turns twenty-five at the end of this month, is one of those people who can do it all. You know the type: dean's list, first-string baseball player, student body president, lady's man, fixes his own car, fluent in seven languages, and still knows the value of a dollar.
