Jeff Goldblum, the ever-charismatic actor and accomplished jazz pianist, is back with a new album—and this time, he’s bringing Broadway magic into the mix. Known for his smooth piano stylings with The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, Goldblum’s latest musical endeavor features none other than Wicked co-stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, adding a theatrical twist to his signature jazz sound.
Goldblum has long balanced his acting career with his passion for jazz, frequently performing live and releasing albums that blend classic standards with his signature playful charm. With this latest record, he continues to surprise fans by enlisting two powerhouse vocalists who are currently preparing to take on the roles of Glinda and Elphaba in the highly anticipated Wicked movie adaptation.
Ariana Grande, known for her powerhouse vocals and deep love for jazz and soul, lends her voice to a sultry rendition of an American songbook classic. Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo, a Tony-winning vocal virtuoso, brings her rich, emotive tone to another standout track. The fusion of their Broadway-caliber voices with Goldblum’s jazzy improvisations makes for an unexpected yet thrilling combination.
In a recent interview, Goldblum described the collaboration as a “dream come true,” praising both singers for their artistry and ability to adapt to the free-flowing nature of jazz. “Ariana and Cynthia are not only extraordinary performers, but they understand the spirit of jazz—it’s about playfulness, spontaneity, and, most importantly, heart,” he said.
Fans of jazz, Broadway, and Goldblum’s unique musical stylings are in for a treat with this album, which promises a mix of nostalgia, theatricality, and pure musical joy. Whether you’re a Wicked enthusiast or a jazz aficionado, this collaboration is set to be one of the most exciting crossovers of the year.
