In a statement announcing the signing, Decca director of A&R Tom Lewis said: “As far as I can tell, everyone loves Jeff Goldblum. He’s a fantastic jazz pianist, a great band leader and just about the loveliest man in the world. His love of jazz is infectious and whenever he plays he makes you feel very happy. If we can take Jeff’s music into people’s homes then we will be helping, in our own small way, to make the world a happier place.”

“I’m so happy to be in cahoots with the wonderful people at Decca, one of the coolest and most prestigious labels of all time,” added Goldblum.

The actor, who will reprise his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in the coming weeks, first began playing piano as a child before moving on to performing in cocktail lounges in Pittsburgh as a teenager.
