Within eight months, he was selected by the lifetime-achievement-award-winning producer/engineer Phil Ramone to be his personal assistant engineer.

On his own he recorded Steve Forbert’s Alive on Arrival, Michael Franks’s Tiger in the Rain, Karen Carpenter’s solo album, Judy Collins’s So Very Early in the Spring, Dancer with Bruised Knees by Kate and Anna McGarrigle, and What is Soul by Paul Shaffer, among others. He recorded, re-recorded, and produced the soundtrack for Bob Fosse’s Academy-Award-winning film, All That Jazz. In 1980 Berger left New York, moving to Massachusetts. During that time he worked exclusively at Bob and Janet Lawson’s Blue Jay Studios in Carlisle, MA.

He recorded and co-produced music for films by John Sayles, scored by Mason Daring. He recorded and/or mixed several albums by Paul Winter and other artists on his Living Music label. In 1984 he took a two year hiatus from his career and travelled the world, recording the indigenous musics of the South Pacific, Fiji, and Indonesia. Upon returning to New York, Berger became a staff producer at Look and Co. a boutique jingle house. There he wrote the music for, produced, and sang on, hundreds of advertising jingles.
