About Shelly Berg

Shelly Berg is a Steinway piano artist and multi-Grammy nominated arranger and producer. His newest album, Alegra, will be recorded with bassist Carlitos Del Puerto and drummer Dafnis Prieto, and released in June 2024 through ArtistShare.

Previous Works

His prior album, Gershwin Reimagined: An American in London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, was conducted by Jos Serebrier and produced by Gregg Field (Decca Gold). It is praised as "A magnificent tribute to the genius of George Gershwin, chock-full of major musical talent and delivered in superb sound," by Colin Clarke in Fanfare, and described as "a bold leap in creating a hybrid mixture of seminal Gershwin that is fresh, inspiring and virtuosic," by singer Michael Feinstein.

Critical Acclaim

The All Music Guide says, "Shelly Berg is one of the finest pianists around in the early 21st century playing modern mainstream jazz." His recording project, The Deep, with bassist Dave Finck on Chesky Records, is widely admired for its versatility and virtuosity with 4.5 stars from DownBeat magazine. His solo project, Shelly Berg: The Nearness of You (Arbors), and a two-piano album with Dick Hyman, Meeting of Minds (Victoria), are also both critically acclaimed. His album, Blackbird, recorded with the Shelly Berg Trio on the Concord Records label, reached #1 in US jazz radio and garnered Record of the Year and Artist of the Year nominations (Jazzweek, 2005).
