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.[1] He recorded four albums as a soloist before embarking on several duo and trio albums in the 1990s and 2000s.
