Debut Album On 45rpm Double LP!
Surprising to some, the world-renowned actor Jeff Goldblum, possibly best-known for his role in Jurassic Park, is also an accomplished pianist. The jazz pianist and his orchestra, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, regularly play together. Goldblum has signed with Decca and releases his debut album featuring guest artists Sarah Silverman, Haley Reinhart, Till Bronner, and Imelda May.
The repertoire includes '60s jazz standards "Cantaloupe Island" and "I Wish I Knew How It Feels To Be Free", the 1940s classic Straighten Up and Fly Right" with guest vocals from Irish superstar singer/songwriter Imelda May, the 1920's song "Me and My Shadow" sung by Sarah Silverman as well as Caravan and more.
"Jeff Goldblum, the veteran actor best known for the Jurassic Park franchise and general zaddiness, may perform with a few famous friends on The Capitol Studios Sessions, but that doesn't make his debut jazz album any less earnest of an endeavor. Goldblum's played the piano for decades, a talent he's shown off in TV roles and at a weekly show in Los Angeles' Rockwell Table & Stage, where he's backed by his band, the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. So The Capitol Studios Sessions is no mere vanity project—it's full of old jazz standards and winning duets, and yes, the kind of delightful, off-the-wall banter you'd expect from newly minted professional curious person Jeff Goldblum." - The A.V. Club
