Brett Gold was born on August 14, 1956, in Baltimore and raised in the predominantly Jewish suburb of Pikesville, not far from the neighborhoods Barry Levinson documented in Diner and other films. Taking up the trombone in elementary school, he quickly mastered the difficult horn, and his early achievements included performing at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, under the direction of the great conductor and composer Morton Gould.
