Aaron Goldberg

Aaron Goldberg is an American jazz pianist from Boston, Massachusetts. The son of a biochemist and a haematologist, Goldberg began playing piano at the age of seven before specialising in jazz at 14 after being introduced to the genre by bassist-educator Bob Sinicrope and master saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi at high school. After receiving awards from Berklee College of Music and Downbeat Magazine, Goldberg graduated at Harvard in Mind, Brain and Behaviour, all the while balancing his studies performing in Boston and New York. After graduating, he moved to New York and formed his first trio and began performing worldwide alongside jazz greats like Wynton Marsalis and Al Foster. In 2006, Goldberg's 'OAM's Blues' was included as sample music on the operating system of Windows Vista, meaning his music was exposed to millions of homes all over the world. He has also arranged several fundraising concerts to support Democratic presidential candidates John Kerry, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
