Jeff Goldblum's jazz album hit the no. 1 spot on the charts

Did you know... Jeff Goldblum plays jazz with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra weekly at an L.A. club called Rockwell (road trip!)? And that, at the age of 66, he has released his debut album? Well, both of those are true. And, during the week of Thanksgiving, that new album of his -- The Capitol Studios Sessions -- got 10 Goldblums out of a possible 10 Goldblums on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart.

Rolling Stone:

His weekly gig... is hardly a vanity project If Im not out of town doing something, Im there every week but the 66-year-old actor has taken the idea to its logical, if odd, conclusion: his debut album that recreates the Rockwell vibe in a studio with a live audience.

Bolstered by guest vocalists Haley Reinhart, Imelda May and Sarah Silverman alongside trumpeter Till Bronner, Goldblums The Capitol Studios Sessions which hit Number One on Billboards Jazz Albums chart blends standards (Herbie Hancocks Cantaloupe Island, Charles Mingus Nostalgia in Times Square) with the actors goofy, whimsical crowd banter. Imagine if Tom Waits Nighthawks at the Diner swapped a rumpled shirt and newsboy cap for a tuxedo with tails for a start.

Here's a taste:

Rolling Stone's Jason Newman interviewed the silver fox about his 50-year musical journey and it's a great read.
