Jazz Sensation Pianist, Brandon Goldberg & his Trio
Jazz Sensation Pianist, Brandon Goldberg & his Trio
Brandon Goldberg has been playing piano and making music since he was three years old. Critics have praised his “unassailable technique, advanced harmonic understanding, a deep sense of swing and, most impressively, a clarity and plethora of ideas executed to near-perfection.” – Downbeat Magazine
Goldberg has performed at leading jazz festivals in the United States and around the world including the Newport Jazz Festival, SFJazz, PDX Jazz, Litchfield, Twin Cities, Caramoor, Santander, and Ystad Jazz Festivals. He has played in New York’s most notable jazz clubs including Dizzy’s Club, Smoke, Mezzrow, and Birdland Theater.
Goldberg released his third album, “Brandon Goldberg Trio: Live at Dizzy’s” in 2024. The album is described as a “prodigious work, wrapped in tradition and steered with refreshing contemporaneity. A testament to shared musical vision, this album showcases Goldberg’s musicianship” - Lydia Liebman PR. The “song selection and sequencing are exquisite…Impeccable sense of time, spotless communication with the accompaniment, unhurriedness, fidelity to melody and harmonic structure.” – Dark Blue Notes. Goldberg has released two other albums which also received critical acclaim – “In Good Time” (2021) and “LET’S PLAY!” (2019) - both were recognized as top albums of the year, earning four-star reviews from Downbeat Magazine.
Goldberg has appeared on Good Morning America and Live with Kelly and Mark accompanying Katharine McPhee as she performed songs from her new album with David Foster, Christmas Songs. Goldberg has also written original music for television and his compositions were featured in the first season of Lawmen: Bass Reeves.
Goldberg is a 2024 YoungArts Winner with Distinction, a semifinalist in the 2023 Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz International Piano Competition and youngest recipient of the 2022 ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award.
In connection to his South Florida roots, Goldberg has been a featured performer at the South Beach Jazz Festival, Jazz Roots Series at the Adrienne Arsht Center, the Miami International Piano Festival, FAENA Summer Jazz Series. He was also commissioned by The Miami Symphony Orchestra to write two original compositions for piano and orchestra, “Surroundings” and “Rhapsody in f minor”, which were both performed live and recorded by MISO and received high praise and accolades.
