A number of jazz artists, promoters and fans have joined together to help guitarist Jeff Golub, who suddenly lost his vision several months ago. Currently, Golub is undergoing extensive tests in hopes of finding a means to restore his vision; however, these tests are expensive and not covered by insurance.
