I love how Jeff looks at the audience like "Can you believe what you're hearing? I can't believe what I'm hearing, and I'm playing it. Ooop! Surprise! Hear that? Wow! What just came out of these...ah...fingers here...that was...amazing."
Perfect description. Have always thought that of him. The jazz is like a really tasty boozy cherry on top. I only discovered this side of him recently.
If there is one thing the history of jazz has taught us its that jazz will not be contained. Jazz breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through new barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but uh, jazz finds a way.
This needs to be a movie. Jeff as a jazz pianist, living life, playing clubs. Uncut gems without the mafia and gems and gambling with half the anxiety.
Goldblum actually played in such a movie, "Lush Life," back in 1991(?) where he played a jazz tenor player alongside Forrest Whitaker, who portrayed a trumpet player.
@@GrumpyStormtrooper I kind of disagree, he wasn't virtuosic but man he played off others in their solo super well with really well timed improves chord stabs, echoing solo sections from other players. he wasn't very note heavy. His solo wasn't a wall of notes but VERY deliberate in bringing the tastefulness of the whole thing to a head. and god damn his chord choices were hngh, they were so on point it actually shows how much he's paid attention to harmonisation which is such a huge factor especially if you can improvise with it.
I am 47 years old, have never been interested in jazz.. Goldblum just sent me to Cantaloupe Island, and I'm not coming back for a loooong time. I like it here very much. ty
Dan Leonard, welcome to Cantaloupe Island [uh, that makes me feel a bit Mr Roarke-ish]. you know, I can't believe it when I read people on youtube saying "I've never been interested in jazz". I mean, what there is to be interested in other than jazz??? 🤩 and I'm not even American, I'm Brazilian. jazz is my life.
"I mean, what there is to be interested in other than jazz???" Classical of course. The only other music worth listening to besides jazz and 70's rock.
San Eckelhöfer Keith Jarret is amazing, especially in his vocal albums. I also think he did the best cover of Autumn leaves out there. He opened the frontiers of jazz to me leading to artists like John Coltrane and Dave Brubeck. If you like more modern jazz, I can recommend Kamasi Washington and Thundercat. There is also an amazing Brazilian electronic artist who has been blending the art of jazz with fascinating sampling techniques called ‘Amon Tobin’. His album Permutation is unlike anything Ive heard, although it’s not for everyone, but it’s worth a try.
Man, Jeff Goldblum as jazz artist? Who would've thought my favorite quirky actors had that talent. Where have I been not to know this? And with one of my absolutely favorite Herbie Hancock compositions. I'm duly impressed.
Excellent musicians - the guitarist has a great tone, in the tradition of someone like Kenny Burrell or George Benson. Jeff is playing simply but he's very tasty in his choice of notes and how he coyly lays back on the time (like a pussycat) and then suddenly pounces (like a lion) - I really enjoyed his solo. Sure, he doesn't have monster chops but he has a very focused awareness and, not surprisingly, a strong sense of drama that brings the point home (more like Duke or Monk than Bud or Herbie). This is fine music.
If you’ve never seen Jeff in the remake of ‘The Fly’ you should absolutely check it out. Apart from being a great movie he also had a scene where he plays piano and shows off a little more than in this video, still love his playing here though. He has another piano scene in ‘Earth Girls Are Easy’ but that one might be harder to find.
headknocker 2020 - I've never seen the remake of The Fly, I'm a big fan of the earlier David Cronenberg version - what a fantastic film. Actually Jeff plays a little bit of piano in that one, too - just briefly. Jeff also was in one of the only jazz films that didn't make me cringe, "Lush Life", where he very convincingly plays a tenor sax player - that's a good film and depicts the day-to-day life of a New York jazz musician, working Broadway shows, doing session work to make a living, besides playing jazz.
92ninersboy I’ll have to look that up I’ve never even heard of that one! And the cronenberg version of the fly was the one I’m talking about lol, it’s a remake of the original black and white one.
@@headknocker2020 Oh yeah, Cronenberg took "The Fly" to a whole other Cronenbergian universe than the original movie with Vincent Price that I don't even think of it as a remake. "Lush Life" is hard to find, very much for a niche audience of authentic jazzers, but I think its available as an import dvd. Well worth checking out if you're tired of sappy Hollywood takes on the jazz life.
The faces were throwing me at first. But the man is loving the show and loving putting a show on for us! Hopefully Mr. Goldbum has helped jazz find new fans!
Jeff loves this so much, I can definitely tell. He appreciates the guitar player and how smoothly he plays and he puts so much emotion into hitting just a few notes. Jeff is the best.
thing I love about Jeff Goldblum is how present he is on stage. he is absorbing everything in the music and points out the magic. He is having a conversation with the audience.
@@jazzstorie OK... Searching the comments for the name of that guitar player. Son of a gun, it turns out to be John Storie - You have a new fan, and that stuff you were doing is next to impossible!
Goldblum sees no boundaries between theatrical expression and musical expression. He has made a seamless connection between two disparate art forms. Who is the guitarist? He is outstanding.
I love Goldblum and recently in watching him I realized why? His default setting is fascination. He is always on the edge of a scientific breakthrough...about everything. If he tells you a story he doesn't even know the ending and can't wait to hear it. If he makes you a cake he can't wait to cut into it and see how it turned out. He's not stupid and I think he has got to be self aware but you'd never know it. He is along for the ride with you. It must be a fun way to live. Bonus points he is not a prick about it. He's just being himself and he is so nice. Plus everything is mack daddy screamin hot cool. 😎😉
Mr Goldblum is the man. he's come a long way from being a nauseating fly, then a wisecracking chaos theorist fighting dinos, then more recently this Ragnarok guy, right? and now that! and he does play the piano! quite sensational, indeed. loooooooove Jeff.
San Eckelhöfer San Eckelhöfer Don’t forget he was also a fuzzy alien from outer space who crash landed on earth and spoke English backwards , Earth Girls Are Easy is a lesser known Jeff film. Very weird but has some hilarious parts along with some awesome co-stars and the lovely Geena Davis returning alongside him.
wow! gonna check it out. I've just looked it up on Google and found "a trio of aliens (Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans)" yay I love them all ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ thanks, headnocker2020! I wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄
San Eckelhöfer Actually, I saw this by a peculiar course of events-his eyeglasses. I found an article about what frames he wears (Jaqueline Marie Mage) after seeing a pair at an opticians. Cool. I recall seeing him in a show in the 70s with BenVereen called “Tenspeed and Brownshoe” and thinking he’s so gangly and the personality I saw him portray that I thought would be a great Ichabad Crane and years later he was. Now he’s a jazzman-art never stops! Happy Holidays to you too!
Jeff studied with Frank Cunimundo when he was a teenage in Pittsburgh. Frank taught hundreds of us kids including me, I'm 70. Frank taught at Pitt University music school for decades. Frank is 90 and still plays. Jeff was in town and they played together at the Duquense Club that weekend. Check out Frank's last album Epilogue. It's awesome. Jeff's been playing jazz his entire life.
Just sort of being in the band and just enjoying oneself looks just incredibly good when Jeff does it. I mean Jesus what a spectacle we have over here.
Great band- absolutely fantastic sax break, that said, I thought it was a great rendition of a classic, wonderful sound balance, hats off to the sound engineer🙂🤩
Love jazz and The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra and of course the SUPER COOL MR. GOLDBLUM... I think it would be a memorable experience to see them LIVE!!!!
Eh personally I felt that cutting to Goldblum every .075 seconds took a little bit away from the others, but it’s still a very talented ensemble. Kudos to all involved.
Disagree. This video strikes a thoughtful balance between the attraction of star power and the generosity of that star when working within a talented ensemble. The visuals predominantly feature Mr. Goldblum because he’s the front man that is driving the clicks. The casual viewer primarily wants to see him and everyone involved in the production recognizes that fact. And c’mon - Goldblum’s facial expressions are an enjoyable lead performance in their own right!! But instead of mere showboating they serve to visually recognize and interact with all the various solos and fills of all his bandmates. In these reactions to what we are all hearing, Goldblum becomes a silent master of ceremonies who repeatedly deflects the focus back to the musicians if one is actively listening more than just passively watching. And for the music itself he humbly takes a back seat in the overall sound mix and arrangement. Without going back and counting, it seemed like he only took a single 8-bar pass for his solo and then stepped back out the way again. You can’t please all of the people - but Goldblum, the band, and the producers have crafted a very tasty treat that will greatly please the other 99%.
Mind blown 🤯👏! I had no idea that Jeff Goldblum is this amazing Jazz artist! Head Hunter is one of the best albums of all time 🎶! And I love the Grant Green vibes on the guitar solo 🎸😎
I am not sure Jeff played a single major triad in his whole solo... there was all this dissonant stuff and maybe the tri tone here and there- what he do do... resolve to a minor chord! but wow did he pull it off. Jeff was fun to watch and is QUITE multi talented, such a fan! I always love to see a group of musicians that can come together and communicate the way these folks did. Absolute magic. :)
Triad, scmiad!! Come on!! Who really cares?? Should music only be appreciated and critiqued by the most knowledgable, pedigreed musician, or can ordinary, common people like me, (who wouldn't know a triad unless it walked up to me and introduced itself) just simply enjoy what I am hearing/?? Did I miss something by not knowing a major triad???
4:23 When Jeff hammers that bass to move into the next section... oof, I totally felt that. Played jazz all through high school and even though it's been a while, my love for jazz has always remained. Jeff is a such groovy cat. Funny thing is, I've always described him as a jazz musician because of how experimental he is, and how unconventional his style is. Wouldn't you know he actually IS a jazz pianist lol
I hereby nominate this video as one of the top 5 UA-cam videos of all time. Good production, amazingly talented playing, the fun of Goldblum, It has it all.
"Well...I, ah...perhaps...Um...will try these keys...ahhh...over here...and then a little of...ah...there we go...OH that was nice..."

Jeff Goldblum a jazz artist? Life, uh, finds a way.
😂😂😂. Love intelligent humans.
🤣🤣🤣
.....to surprise us
best comment on youtube.
Dude, it only makes sense for the Jeff to be a jazzman.
Goldbloom strikes me as a man who’s really enjoying life.....
Goldblum and Bill Murray should hang out together.
right?! gotta learn to love it while you still living! Otherwise you just dying!
You strike me as someone who can’t properly spell his name.
Right!
nobody talking about how immaculate dem drums sounding
sound guy is jesus
All On My Own Here We Go they are crisp!
I did think the drums were a little too prevalent in the mix but that’s just a preference thing I guess!
He found his pocket
Like butter 😫🤤🔥😂
The bass drum is there and not there at the same time. Agree...brilliance
Karl Hungus it's called sitting in the mix
Everyone's talking about Jeff Goldblum (as they should|), but that Sax player is really something else. That is some intense swing.
Random Awesome he’s great! This group reminds me a little bit of Lou Donaldson and his band.
organ player is pretty great too
Cantaloupe Island isn’t swing
Random Awesome true
NovaInc. Yeah lmao
Jeff Goldblum looks like that proud mom who keeps telling the audience "Yea look at mah bois, they're so good."
Exactly lol
As I looked up after reading your comment & saw him compliment-clapping for his guitarists’ solo!!
Lol

The drummer has such deep pockets it’s ridiculous, I’ve watched this more than a few times now and just focused on him. Amazing.
Thanks man!
@Andres Reyes He's not playing badly. He sounds like an early intermediate level improviser which is probably where his musical development stopped.
Jeff can play though...
Jeff Goldblum looks like sarcastic Bill Evans.

I suppose you're right
Quantity is so important
The "coke" coke?
This is such an amazing comment! 😂
Jeff Goldblum had evolved into a higher plane of existence and we're just along for the ride.
he always was a "High Plains Drifter".
Jeff was a jazz pianist long before he became an actor, and it shows. Real talent for it.
I only found this out about a week ago!!
If there is one thing the history of jazz has taught us its that jazz will not be contained. Jazz breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through new barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but uh, jazz finds a way.

A very murray chritsmas with phoenix jojo

There's a video of him butchering "Gloria" on guitar with Clapton for what it's worth!
Jeff looks like every kid at a museum: "woah look at that guitar", "omg a saxophone", "woah people in the crowd" 2:28
Dude can play. Big fat inversions, substitutions, improv. Respect.
Grooviest funkiest cantaloupe island I’ve ever heard. This band is amazing
Getting tyner vibes from his solos. Love his voicings
Jeff could play Donald Fagen in a biopic with zero effort IMO... Props to the sound guy/s in this gig.
They're in Capitol Studio A&B - they dressed it up to look like a club and brought in an audience. Same studio Sinatra used.

coachchris424 thanks
@@GrumpyStormtrooper I kind of disagree, he wasn't virtuosic but man he played off others in their solo super well with really well timed improves chord stabs, echoing solo sections from other players.
he wasn't very note heavy. His solo wasn't a wall of notes but VERY deliberate in bringing the tastefulness of the whole thing to a head.
and god damn his chord choices were hngh, they were so on point it actually shows how much he's paid attention to harmonisation which is such a huge factor especially if you can improvise with it.
Onodera Punpun ok i listened to it a couple more times and i have to say i changed my mind. it was indeed pretty good.

The world doesn't deserve Jeff Goldblum
Of course this exists. I don't know why I ever doubted.
I've just booked to see them in Luxembourg! Dreamy AF
Love Jeff's approving nods at the screams and woots from the audience

just a bit, right Sarah Knight? 😉 but he's very charming, looks great. and he can actually play, I didn't expect that. I didn't know it.

Every time I see Jeff Goldblum he's usually loving something so much that you can definitely tell.
1:57 I love that he is just comping rn and it isnt his solo, but he takes it upon himself to gliss upwards in response to the sax. Made me smile
His group should be called The Goldblum Experience, I love this music and the band is awesome🫡❤❤💯
I always thought a guy like this needs to play the piano. And lo and behold there he is...
I'm sure at some point he was like, "people probably expect me to play the piano so I need to learn piano" and then he did
The tone on that bass is heavenly 🥹
For a guy in his late 60s, he’s aged remarkably well.
Jeff Goldblum is actually really good. Good stuff Jeff
When Jeff holds his hands in the air towards the public he is just playing with keys of our hearts.

Should music only be appreciated and critiqued by the most knowledgable, pedigreed musician, or can ordinary, common people like me, (who wouldn't know a triad unless it walked up to me and introduced itself) just simply enjoy what I am hearing/?? Did I miss something by not knowing a major triad???
Umm... Sorry..? @@jlarm3
Thank you i had fun listening have a good night
Jeff is so awesome and this good music!! This Should have millions of views!!
I can feel every note with the expressions on your face. You are so good!
Well done. I like the arrangement and the interpretation of this classic title.👍😁
This was the first song I played in Improvisation Ensemble in Jazz College....man...
4:23 When Jeff hammers that bass to move into the next section... oof, I totally felt that. Played jazz all through high school and even though it's been a while, my love for jazz has always remained. Jeff is a such groovy cat. Funny thing is, I've always described him as a jazz musician because of how experimental he is, and how unconventional his style is. Wouldn't you know he actually IS a jazz pianist lol
No one's talking about the guitarist. The man played a superb solo and has an amazing tone
Daddy Goldblum.
