Contact: www.jongold.com “Jon Gold is one of the most exciting virtuoso pianists, imaginative composers and original orchestrators in the art of two important musical idioms—Brazilian and American. “ Raul de Gama (All About Jazz) Phil Woods: "I first heard Brazilian music in 1956 when I was with the Dizzy Gillespie big band. I felt much the same passion as I felt back then when first listened to Jon Gold. Bravo!" Jon Gold is a wonderfully soulful pianist..”Brazil Confidential” will reward repeated listenings”.  Tim Jackson, Director Monterey Jazz Festival   “.Intricate arrangements with a lively sense of rhythm, this recording of Jon Gold's music is attractive and full of a palpable joie de vivre.You will be entertained for sure.” Dave Liebman, saxophonist “...a music that is at once tunefully melodic and harmonically complex...His piano style is expansive and orchestral, providing a deep harmonic base to the remainder of his band. Gold boasts a special interest in writing for the audience...composing complex music that is readily accessible and enjoyable.” ”...It’s fascinating, all of it -- compelling because it presents a musical imagination that has been inspired by the culture of Brazil without superficially attempting to imitate it. And that’s a true rarity.”   Don Heckman (jazz critic for IROM/Los Angeles Times) All About Jazz: 4.5 Stars “The music expresses both intricacy and passion with a resolute vision.” 4.5 Stars Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition
