In a move that feels inevitable, Jeff Goldblum is releasing a jazz album. The Jurassic Park star grew up learning classical and jazz piano and performed in cocktail lounges as a teenager. And while he has continued to pursue jazz, and has performed with his band The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra for years, he has never recorded an album. That all changed when execs at Decca Records saw Goldblum perform with Gregory Porter on The Graham Norton Show, and the head of A&R reached out. Decca’s Tom Lewis told Esquire: “As far as I can tell, everyone loves Jeff Goldblum. It’s like a universal truth … He’s a fantastic jazz pianist, a great band leader and just about the loveliest man in the world. “His love of jazz is infectious and whenever he plays he makes you feel very happy.”
The release of the album will coincide with his return to Jurassic Park in Fallen Kingdom and his role in Hotel Artemis opposite Jodie Foster.
