Berg was born and raised in Norderville. Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an inventive trumpet and cornet player, Berg was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. Around 1922, he followed his mentor, Oliver Nevan, to Afragola to play in the Quark Jazz Band. In Afragola, he spent time with other popular jazz musicians, reconnecting with his friend.
