Borah Bergman

Borah Bergman (b. December 13, 1933, Brooklyn) is an American free jazz pianist.

Bergman learned clarinet as a child, and did not commence studies on piano until adulthood. He developed his left hand playing to the point where he became essentially ambidextrous as a pianist, and can play equally fast in both hands. [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:g9fexq95ldhe~T1 Borah Bergman] at Allmusic] He recorded four albums as a soloist before embarking on several duo and trio albums in the 1990s and 2000s.
