Jon’s story begins in the San Francisco Bay Area. Jon’s Brother (Jay Gold) was deeply involved in music and was General Manager of Mushroom Records who was host label to the pop group Heart. Jay instilled a love of blues and jazz onto his brother and Jon went on to take up piano. His first performances were with the Palo Alto School District Jazz band where he was selected to perform with Dizzy Gillespie for a special on KQED-TV in San Francisco.Jon developed a love for Latin music working with a number of salsa, Latin and Brazilian groups. However, he developed a special love for the jazz-influenced music of Brazil.He was offered a fellowship by the Brazilian Government and taught at PUC-Rio. This afforded Jon the opportunity to meet and work with some of the greatest names in Brazil: A.C. Jobim and Hermeto Paschoal among others. He did shows at the invitation of theUS Embassy and performed on Brazilian national TV shows. He did considerable work with the multi-instrumentalist Carlos Malta having performed in the major venues in Rio. After marrying, Jon decided to move back to the US settling about an hour from NYC. He has since released several albums featuring multi-award winning players such as Dave Lieberman, Zach Broch, Jon Irabagon, Howard Levy, Tom “Bones” Malone and Harvie S amongst others.
