Sharon Van Etten Teams With Jeff Goldblum’s Jazz Band At Glastonbury

Jeff Goldblum is an idiosyncratic talent. While he may be best known for his roles in classic films like Jurassic Park and Independence Day, the Hollywood A-Lister is also an accomplished pianist, regularly hosting improvisational jazz shows in Los Angeles with his jazz band, . This past weekend, the actor showed off his music skills during a set at England’s world-renowned Glastonbury Festival.

For the performance, Goldblum and company were joined Sharon Van Etten, who sat in for a take on the jazz standard “Let’s Face The Music And Dance.” Van Etten led the sultry vocals on the 1936 Irving Berlin-penned tune, while Goldblum offered a tasteful piano accompaniment. Notably, during the performance, the actor and bandleader also announced that his group is recording their second studio album and Van Etten will appear as a special guest on the record alongside a number of other collaborators.

As Goldblum noted in a statement about his forthcoming LP:

Getting to do another album with the sweet, sweet, enchanted elves and sprites from Decca has me floating on air, somebody please pinch me (ow, not so hard). I only hope that listeners feel what I felt when we made the record – an explosive release of ecstasy. It’s amazing to let the cat a bit out of the bag here at Glastonbury in the fleshy flesh!
