BORAH BERGMAN/DANIEL LEVIN. DUO

Borah Bergman - piano,
Daniel Levin - cello

Borah Bergman (born December 13, 1933 in Brooklyn, NY) is one of the most
singleminded and unique pianists in the history of jazz. Often compared to Cecil
Taylor, but more for lack of any closer analogy than for any particular similarities of style, Bergman himself credits Lennie Tristano and Bud Powell as his main pianistic influences (also noting stride and Thelonious Monk). By consciously emphasizing equality between his left and right hands, as epitomized by frequent cross-handed playing, he has created a style which allows him to improvise differently from any other pianist.
