While most of the rest of us struggle to be fulfilled in any one area of our lives, Jeff Goldblum has accompanied roles in summer tentpoles and recurring gigs in one of TV’s strangest towns with weekly jazz variety shows at Los Angeles’ Rockwell Table And Stage. His first album, The Capital Studios Sessions, is a charming, earnest tribute to jazz from the longtime musician. Perhaps looking to keep his hot streak on the Billboard charts (for Jazz and Traditional Jazz) going, Goldblum recently announced plans for a sophomore album with his backing band, the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
Per a press release, the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World mainstay shared the news onstage at the Glastonbury festival, as only Jeff Goldblum can:
Getting to do another album with the sweet, sweet, enchanted elves and sprites from Decca has me floating on air, somebody please pinch me (ow, not so hard). I only hope that listeners feel what I felt when we made the record—an explosive release of ecstasy. It’s amazing to let the cat a bit out of the bag here at Glastonbury in the fleshy flesh!”
We don’t know the album title or release date, but it will also be released via Decca Records.

I bet this new album will be The Flyest ever!
Or if its not I hope the review just says “That is one big pile of shit.”
Not being aware of the previous album, I’m surely repeating something that was already said:
Jeff Goldblum is a jazz album, and the usual NPR host is out on assignment.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the album is being released so close to Independence Day
It can’t possibly be as good as The Jeff Goldbluman Group.
Challenge of the day: read the above quote from Goldblum not with his voice in your head. You can’t do it.
I wish I could hack my brain so that everything that I read is in the soothing dulcet tones of his voice.
The “ow, not so hard” is what got me. I can imagine him pinching himself and immediately narrating himself. Remarkable.
Look at him! Dude is 66 for fuck’s sake. He looks and sounds awesome.
