Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra - The Capitol Studios Sessions (LP)

Add to Cart

The Capitol Studios Sessions is the highly anticipated album from Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. Goldblum, who has been playing the piano since he was a child, has performed with his jazz band at venues in Los Angeles and New York City over the past few decades. When he'€™s not filming, the actor hosts a weekly jazz variety show at LA'€™s Rockwell Table and Stage. Frequented by locals and A-listers alike, the show intersperses Goldblum'€™s love of jazz with his passion and skills at improvised comedy. The atmosphere and energy of these shows is captured perfectly on this album, which Jeff credits to producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock, Madeleine Peyroux).

For the recording, Larry recreated the buzz of The Rockwell at the legendary Capitol Studios. The studio was transformed into a jazz club -€“ food and drink was served to an invited live studio audience of Rockwell regulars, friends and family. The repertoire includes favourite '€˜60s jazz numbers Cantaloupe Island and I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free), the 1940s classic Straighten Up & Fly Right with guest vocals from Irish superstar singer and songwriter Imelda May, My Baby Just Cares For Me from 1930, featuring American songstress Haley Reinhart and the 1920s song Me and My Shadow sung by US comedian and actress, Sarah Silverman. The band are joined by the extraordinary Grammy-nominated trumpeter Till Brönner.
