With his long-time band The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra in tow, Jeff Goldblum’s enticingly-titled second album I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This finds the multi-talented artist bringing his on-screen charisma and eccentricities to the piano once again, with a style that is totally unique, and an impressive array of surprising duet guests. And this time, we are treated not only to his piano-playing skills but to his incredibly distinctive voice, as the man himself takes center stage to sing “Little Man, You’ve Had A Busy Day.” First released on Decca in 1934, it is here particularly poignant coming from the father of two young Goldblum sons.

But before his closing lullaby, Goldblum has assembled an extraordinary gang of vocalists from all walks of musical life, some of whom reveal their jazz voices for the very first time. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten stars on the first single, Irving Berlin’s classic number “Let’s Face The Music and Dance.” Also joining Jeff is Brit Award and Mercury Prize nominee Anna Calvi, for a mash-up of Wes Montgomery’s “Four on Six” and Marianne Faithful’s “Broken English.” The 1954 Frank Sinatra hit “Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me” features Grammy Award-winning Fiona Apple, Sonny & Cher favorite “The Beat Goes On” is sung by American singer-songwriter Inara George, and the 1939 hit “If I Knew Then” is recorded here with one of LA’s most in demand jazz singers,Gina Saputo. In between the variety of world-class vocalists, instrumental tracks such as Herbie Hancock’s “Driftin'” and Lalo Schifrin’s “The Cat” show off the band’s dazzling jazz licks.

Recorded in the heart of Hollywood, at Henson Recording Studios (home to records from Herb Alpert, John Lennon, The Carpenters, Joni Mitchell and Carole King), with I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This Jeff Goldblum and The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra again deliver the feel and the swing like no one else. The album cover image was shot at Frank Sinatra’s house and shows Goldblum playing the white baby-grand on a floating stage in the middle of the piano shaped swimming pool.
