Hailed by DownBeat magazine for his “quick–witted harmonic reflexes, fluid command of line and cut–to–the–chase sense of narrative logic,” Aaron Goldberg has made his name as one of jazz’s most compelling pianists, both as a bandleader and frequent collaborator with some of the foremost players from multiple jazz generations. In 1998, he joined saxophonist Joshua Redman’s group for four years of touring and recording; after that came a two–year stint with guitar guru Kurt Rosenwinkel, a 2005 tour of Latin America with singer Madeleine Peyroux, and six months on the road performing with Wynton Marsalis in the trumpeter’s quartet as well as with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. The Goldberg discography now encompasses more than 50 albums. This week on our stage, Aaron Goldberg will celebrate his new Trio recording on Sunnyside Records entitled, At the Edge of the World with Matt Penman and Leon Parker. Undoubtedly their live performance will embody the best of what jazz can be today: the ability to speak from deep within the tradition while putting their own collaborative imprint upon it.
