Described by The New York Times as a "post-bop pianist of exemplary taste and range," Goldberg has released five albums as a solo artist and has performed and collaborated with Joshua Redman, Wynton Marsalis, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and Guillermo Klein, among others.

[3][4][5] Due in part to his parents' insistence on attending a traditional academic college, Goldberg returned to Boston a year later to pursue a degree in history and science at Harvard University.

[6][7] While an undergraduate, Goldberg maintained a focus on music, and as a freshman was awarded the International Association of Jazz Educators' Clifford Brown/Stan Getz Fellowship.

Among others, he performed with Mark Turner, Gregory Tardy, and Betty Carter, whom Goldberg first met as a founding member of her Jazz Ahead program while at Harvard.

In 2005, he toured South America with Madeleine Peyroux, joined the bands of Kurt Rosenwinkel and Wynton Marsalis, and performed worldwide as a member of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.

Recorded with Harland on drums and Rogers on bass, The Now has received significant critical acclaim, with The New York Times describing it as "superb" and The Boston Globe noting its "elegance" and "sly wit."

"[1][11][12] Aaron has collaborated with many jazz musicians including Joshua Redman, Wynton Marsalis, Guillermo Klein, Charles Lloyd, Reuben Rogers, Dario Chiazzolino, Greg Tardy.
