Jeff,
Thanks so much for sending the CD so promptly! I have listened to it in sessions & during my yoga practice for the past 2 days (all day) and do not tire of it. It has a nice blend of slower tempos with an occasional faster (but not too fast) tempo & all tracks have a lot of feeling & emotions woven into the music. Very nice stuff...look forward to hearing more from you!
Blessings,
Tracy

Escapes is a beautiful CD. The music creates a peaceful atmosphere that is perfect during Reiki treatments. Its melodies are original and unique. A wonderful addition to my healing practice.

East meets West; Feel Your Best
Jeff Gold's 'Escapes' is a relaxing compilation of soothing music that has a nice twist: it works for active listening as well. Some 'relaxing' CDs I've met with have set a good mood during treatments; then, I've gone and bought them, thinking I could recreate the feeling, but no such luck. The problem with most relaxing music to me is that once active listening sets in, I feel myself wanting to climb walls. 'Escapes' is a refreshing alternative; Gold's music has enough movement for it to be interesting, but although the mood and speed varies a bit, every track works the way it's supposed to: soothingly.
A nice little surprise caught me during 'Hanalei', the second track, where Gold uses the pentatonic scale to create a far Eastern feeling, also used in 'A New Day', along with part of several other tunes. There are some more melancholy tracks well suited for brooding (such as 'Greet the Sun', 'Napali', and 'Moon on the Ridge'), but they still convey one word: 'feelgood'. It only took a few bars for me to achieve the sentiment. Also, the 'wave' motion featured in all tracks works beautifully with distance Reiki.
Gold has proven that less is definitely more. I give 'Escapes' five Usui master symbols out of five, both on content and timing.

Escapes is music to float upon. My clients have commented that they love the ease and flow it invokes in their mind; allowing them the freedom to let go of their day to day thoughts and just let go, and fully relax into their bodywork treatment.

Escapes is full of beautifully crafted tranquil melodies perfectly suited for massage. Jeff's smooth and masterful blend of piano, guitar and strings creates both an uplifting and relaxing space where lightness and optimism are palpable. Thank you for your gift of music that impacts how my clients receive massage.

I got the CD the other day and played it during 2 massages I had that day! Wonderful! Calming, yet uplifting enough to not put me to sleep. I really suffer if the music is toooo caaaaallmmmming.... this music is the happy space in between calming for the client and therapist nodding off.
This is music that can be played over and over in the player without worry that the client will think you can only afford one CD. Some of the music I use is great, but it is bad when they notice that the same birds sing during each session... Could "repeat" this all day long and never get tired of it. Very nice!

Dear Jeff - Your CD, Escapes, is like a breath of fresh air. Images of the rain in springtime came forth - and babbling brooks - and beautiful blue skies with clouds lazily floating overhead - and flowers slowly opening in all of their glory. The music is PERFECT for massage. It is the ideal rhythm and tempo. There are no distracting portions of the CD on any of the cuts. From beginning to end, you have created a masterpiece, perfect for soothing and healing in a sanctuary of soundscapes. The healing power of music shines through in your compositions. Many blessings to you as you travel the musical path, enriching the world and raising the consciousness of humanity, one note at a time. Warmly, Ariana

I just listened to Escape and the music is complex and soothing. Much needed on the ride to & from work. I have also listened to and continue to listen to Live Well and find it extremely helpful in relieving work related stress to & from work.I haven't tried it before bed yet but I will!! Great series! I plan to buy these CDs as gifts for my relatives and friends.

Jeff's music will take you on a peaceful, visual journey through relaxing gentle forests, winding sloping hillsides, and you will find your inner soul revealed with his music. Get in touch with your inner self with this album that creates pictures in your mind with his music.

I love the CD. It will be enjoyed while I sit on my porch swing in Cabo watching the sun set, watching the boats come in from fishing and sipping a nice glass of Chardonnay. Thanks Jeff

I listen to your CD after a long day working while I'm preparing dinner for my family. It puts me in a Zen-like sate of mind. I'll pop the CD out and head for a nice hot bath in the evening as well.
Thanks Jeff for relaxing me.....
