\u2018The Capitol Studios Sessions\u2019 is the highly anticipated album from Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. \r
\r
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\u2019s not filming, the actor hosts a weekly jazz variety show at LA\u2019s Rockwell Table and Stage. Frequented by locals and A-listers alike, the show intersperses Goldblum\u2019s love of jazz with his passion and skills at improvised comedy. \r
\r
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 \u2013 food and drink was served to an invited live studio audience of Rockwell regulars, friends and family. \r
\r
This album lives in that magical area where artists and audiences meet. There is a joyful sense of anything-can-happen and a spirit of creative generosity\u2014in how Jeff speaks to his fans, how he accompanies guest singers and soloists, and especially in how Jeff comps. \r
\r
To Jeff, his role within the context of a jazz band is a seamless connection with his acting: \u201cI love improvising and that feeling of communication and interplay. It\u2019s one of the cornerstones of my acting technique. I see my music in the same way.\u201d \u2013 Jeff Goldblum \r
\r
\u2018The Capitol Studios Sessions\u2019 is the realization of this idea: jazz and standards presented in a manner that dares to be high-spirited and to make you feel good. The repertoire includes favourite \u201860s jazz numbers \u2018Cantaloupe Island\u2019 and \u2019I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel To Be Free)\u2019, the 1940s classic \u2018Straighten Up & Fly Right\u2019 with guest vocals from Irish superstar singer and songwriter Imelda May, \u2018My Baby Just Cares For Me\u2019 from 1930, featuring American songstress Haley Reinhart and the 1920s song \u2019Me And My Shadow\u2019 sung by US comedian and actress, Sarah Silverman. The band are joined by the extraordinary Grammy-nominated trumpeter Till Br\xf6nner. \r

Jeff Goldblum and The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra deliver the feel and the swing, and they make it fun, funny, and familiar. Those are words not often associated with jazz, though they still can be, and with this album we are reminded of that.
