JEFF IS BACK!

JEFF GOLDBLUM & THE MILDRED SNITZER ORCHESTRA RETURN WITH A BRAND NEW CHRISTMAS SINGLE 
FEATURING JEFF ON VOCALS - ‘THE CHRISTMAS WALTZ’

ON DECCA RECORDS

Christmas is a time for good cheer and tidings of comfort and joy, and that is exactly what Jeff Goldblum brings with his new Christmas single, ‘The Christmas Waltz’. Recorded with his long-time band, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, the heartwarming jazz standard is released globally today on Decca Records.

‘The Christmas Waltz’ marks a welcome return to music for the Hollywood icon – not that he ever stopped, having continued to gig with The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra whenever he had the opportunity. 
Here, we are treated to the actor’s incredibly distinctive voice, which is perfectly suited to this high-spirited, festive number, as he takes to the mic for lead vocals.

Jeff Goldblum, who celebrated turning 70 just last month, says: “Our purpose is a mighty one. We rejoice in life for its own sake. Was I wearing a hat?”

The song was originally written for Frank Sinatra, who requested a new Christmas song and recorded it for the first time in 1954. As ever, Goldblum brings his inimitable wit and charm, the band bring their dazzling jazz licks, and together they deliver the feel and the swing.

The new single is not the only thing launching today. Fans will be thrilled to know that Jeff is entering the world of TikTok, revealing his first post, in true Goldblumian style.
