Goldman attended the Berklee College of Music majoring in jazz composition and film scoring. in 1998, Goldman moved to Los Angeles and, shortly after, was selected by jazz legends Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter to be a member of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. He toured the world performing with legendary jazz icons, including Herbie Hancock, Terence Blanchard, Christian McBride, Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath, Roy Haynes, Kenny Baron, Wayne Shorter, to name a few.
Upon completion of the Monk Institute and his masters in music at USC in 2002, Goldman began teaching at the University of Southern California (USC) as an adjunct professor as well as becoming the Director of Jazz at the LA County High School for the Arts (LACHSA).
In 2003, Goldman was selected by legendary record producer David Foster to be the featured saxophonist in Michael Bublé’s first touring band. While on Bublé’s first global tour, Goldman began penning new original arrangements for the 8-piece band including his takes on “Mack the Knife” featured on Bublé’s “Come Fly With Me” DVD (2004) and Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” featured on the CD/DVD combo “Caught in the Act” (2005).
