BORAH BERGMAN

ABOUT THE ARTIST/BIOGRAPHY

is one of the most underrated yet important stylists of modern jazz piano. He phrases on his instrument like a brass or reed player and has produced much of his best work in duos with saxophonists. Completely ambidextrous, he improvises horn-like lines with both hands, sometimes crossed, in a contrapuntal and polyphonic, multi-layered dialogue that allows pieces to be turned upside down without loss of rhythmic intensity or aesthetic shape. Although it is rigorous and in places rhythmically intense, his largely free, spontaneously improvised playing can be highly lyrical and delicate, with long periods of quiet precision; elements of the blues and of stride piano may be heard throughout his work.   Back to Artists

BORAH BERGMAN & STEFANO PASTOR / Live at Tortona

The five pieces on this recording­ highlight Bergman's amazing ability to have each hand go its own way. Instead of accompaniment and melody, what one hears are often two completely different melodic lines being played simultaneously. Stefano Pastor¹s style of playing the violin is strongly based on an imaginative reworking of bop wind instruments¹ language. A great deal of experimentation led him to re-consider the set-up of his instrument.

BORAH BERGMAN, LOL COXHILL & PAUL HESSION / Acts of Love

With a unique, two-handed approach that dispenses with the traditional notion of piano playing as competing or interlocking lines, Borah Bergman deals with sound as mass, great chilly bergs or hot flows of magma that change shape as different layers flow against one another, hardening and melting at different rates.
