Even if youre not a jazz fan, we defy you not to be charmed by Goldblum and his orchestra.

The 66-year-old has actually been playing with his jazz band for decades in venues all over Los Angeles and New York City, but will release his debut album on 9 November.

Jeff said: I love improvising and that feeling of communication and interplay. Its one of the cornerstones of my acting technique. I see my music in the same way.
