“Breaking the Ice” - Jon Gold

Breaking The Ice, the new release from pianist and composer Jon Gold (dropped on June 1st, 2025, via Entropic Records), is not your average jazz single — and that’s exactly why it’s so damn good.

Gold has long been a musical shape-shifter, unafraid to dive into the deep end of complex rhythm, global textures, and unconventional arrangements. But with Breaking The Ice, he’s taken things to a whole new level — emotionally, technically, and culturally. This is a song that doesn’t sit still, and honestly, why should it? Life doesn’t either. And Gold, more than ever, sounds like an artist not chasing perfection, but chasing truth. One echo at a time.
