Recorded live at Dizzy's Club, NYC in January 2023, Brandon Goldberg's third album as a leader evokes both a feeling of nostalgia and innovation as his trio puts a fresh spin on beloved classics from the Great American Songbook as well as two fantastic original compositions. Pianist 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". He 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. He is joined for this new album on Cellar Music by the wonderful Ben Wolfe on bass and Aaron Kimmel on drums.
