BORAH BERGMAN

Downbeat Magazine describes pianist Borah Bergman as "having the hands of an eccentric genius." 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 losing rhythmic intensity or aesthetic shape. Tonight, Bergman performs Dimensions in Direction, compositions and improvisations showcasing his unique style of playing, called "ambi-ideation."
