Hollywood star Jeff Goldblum is set to release his debut album, a collection of jazz piano recordings, later this year.

Goldblum, who learned classical piano as a child before turning jazz music, has signed to Decca Records after executives saw his performance on The Graham Norton Show with Gregory Porter last year.

Tom Lewis, head of A&R at Decca, said: “As far as I can tell, everyone loves Jeff Goldblum. It’s like a universal truth. We are delighted to welcome him to Decca.

“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.”

The 65-year-old added: “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.”

Goldblum has played piano since aged 15, starting his performance career in cocktail lounges around Pittsburgh. The actor also performs regularly with his band the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.

Away from music, the acclaimed actor is set to be back on the big screen in Jurassic World, recently appearing on ITV’s Lorraine to promote the movie.

After he sang, a beaming Kelly praised: “Oh, that's a joy! That's an absolute joy, it really is."
