Wonderful!

I hired Jeff to play ambient music during a luncheon I had for my mother's memorial service. His beautiful music was a perfect addition to the occasion. He was accommodating, friendly and professional. I'm so happy I found him and would recommend him to anyone needing an acoustic guitarist to add class to their event. Thank you Jeff.

About

Reviews:

"...I wanted to thank you again for playing your wonderful music at the opening reception for summer "Escapes" at the Altadena Town & Country Club. I have continued to receive glowing reviews! You added a wonderful dimension to the whole event!...."

-Victoria Sotomayor, Exhibition Coordinator, California Art Club

Your music has such a soothing and uplifting quality. Thank you for making our opening night reception a relaxing experience for all.

-Jan Cipolla, Exhibit Chair, San Fernando Valley Art Club Spring Exhibit

Jeff Gold's live music really "made the party." Jeff was perfect and very reasonable. His elegant but fun guitar strumming and chords created a party mood that allowed everyone to talk and catch up on the years. It really was prefect. We were pretty rushed that evening and I think we remembered to provide Jeff with a chair and an extension cord. And that's all he needed. He arrived early, set up with no bother or fuss, and entertained for an entire evening.

California native Jeff Gold is a composer/musician who creates imagery through music; images that are emotional and melodic, restorative and uplifting. He composes soulful relaxing instrumentals which have received the attention of Wellness Centers, Spas and Music Therapists for their tranquil and healing qualities.

Combining beautifully arranged acoustic guitars, piano, strings and flutes, Jeff has released three CD's "Soul of a Mountain" in 2006, and "Escapes" in 2009 and his latest, "Simple Treasures" in 2012. All three are a soothing and relaxing collection of melodies ideal for music therapy, yoga, massage, scenic drives or just winding down.

Jeff’s 14-year old special needs nephew, Russell, became a big fan of these soothing instrumentals because they help to calm his overstimulation. Russell then passed his uncle’s music on to his other friends on the autistic spectrum and they found that it is helpful to them as well.

Jeff is also a contributing writer and music advisor to EXPERIENCE | PREMCHIT resorts, located throughout Europe and Asia, researching and writing articles on the physical, mental and therapeutic effects that are possible with music.

Jeff composes and arranges all of his own music, playing the guitars and pianos, and creating other instrumental sounds by computer. He also does his own mixing, mastering and editing; a skill he perfected as a television editor for shows like MTV’s “Making the Video,” “Baywatch,” “MadTV” and “The Office.”

Jeff has also teamed up with hypnotherapist, Janet Montgomery to produce seven guided imagery CD's for “The Live Well Series.” Topics include sleeping soundly, stress management, and coping with cancer treatment.
