Michael Gold and I first crossed paths at California Jazz Conservatory in 2023. An incredible player and arranger, Michael’s top-floor space is a haven for music—a place where jam sessions with ever-shifting personnel bring life to the walls. Sometimes, I’m lucky enough to join in. This was recorded on Veterans Day, 2024, capturing a moment in that shared musical journey. Have a listen!
