    ah, a jeff goldlum interview!

    Jeff Goldblum swings into Houston for jazzy night of music and comedy

    Easily one of America’s most charming, affable, and delightfully cerebral celebrities, Jeff Goldblum seems delighted to gush about Houston and his upcoming appearance here with his heralded jazz band, the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.

    His group plays the Jones Hall for the Performing Arts Friday, September 20, as part of the Society for the Performing Arts special series. (Tickets are still available.)

    Though he’s best known for a career that spans more than 40 years and memorable roles in The Fly, Independence Day, and the Jurassic Park franchise, Goldblum’s music run has proved far more than a simple vanity project. His band’s debut album, The Capitol Studios Sessions, scored No. 1 on Billboard’s Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts in 2018.

    Fresh off that success, and with a new album, coyly titled, I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This, dropping November 1, Goldblum is ready to tickle the ivories (he’s a deft and accomplished piano player) alongside his band and members of Houston’s Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.

    He’s also ready to share Houston’s charms with the world via his new National Geographic TV show, The World According to Jeff Goldblum, which will be released on streaming service Disney+ on November 12.

    “I’m Jeff, or Junebug, whatever you prefer,” Goldblum exclaims to CultureMap, by way of introduction. And with that, we’re off.

    CultureMap: Congratulations on the new album and TV show. It’s been quite a summer for you.

    Jeff Goldblum: Yes, yes, it’s been a wild summer! We were just in Houston shooting for my new show. It’s a docu-series by National Geographic. It’s taken me all over the place.

    CM: We’re thrilled that you’re featuring our fair city.

    JG: Yes, and what a fair city! We were there for a couple of days shooting at NASA and Johnny Dang’s grill emporium. Houston, well ... I had my own special experience.

    CM: So can you share with us some of Houston — according to Jeff Goldblum?

    JG: Well, of course it’s the birthplace of the great Wes Anderson, with whom I did The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle of Dogs. He’s fantastic, and I like thinking about seeing all of Houston through his eyes.

    CM: He’s a local treasure. How was your experience at NASA?

    JG: Oh my, those people I was there to see — have you ever been to the Neutral Buoyancy Lab? It’s remarkable! I met a couple of astronauts, it was really spectacular. Then, on the whole other end of the spectrum, I had Johnny Dang, and all the hip-hop people he made grills for, and that was spectacular, also.

    CM: Here in Houston, there’s a buzz that you’ll be playing with kids from the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.

    JG: Yes, yes! They’re going to join us on a song — like, four to six horn players. And we’re not gonna rehearse before, we’re just going to cook something up. They tell me they know this particular song that you’ll see. It’s gonna be a lot of fun.

    CM: Speaking of fun during these shows, you’ve played at the Los Angeles club, Rockwell Table and Stage, since the ’90s, and you always intersperse some comedy and audience participation during the gig. Can we expect those kinds of off-the-cuff interludes in Houston?

    JG: Yes, I never know exactly what I’m going to do, it’s all uncharted. I sometimes find myself doing it before the show as people are streaming in and in between the songs. And then we’ll play from my new album, which I just adore.

    CM: Regarding your music, what’s it like being a celebrated actor who then scores No. 1 on the Billboard music charts?

    JG: Well, it’s amazing and unexpected — very delightful — I am thrilled for all the people I play with. I never thought I’d have an album or have what could be called a career in music, anyway. I had my heart set on being an actor all this time, and I’m still on the threshold of my best work. I believe it’s because I’ve been conscientious about it and luckily kept getting chances.

    But this thing with music: I loved it when I was a kid. I started playing cocktail lounges in Pittsburgh here and there when I was 15. About 30 years ago, I started playing out and about just for the fun of it. And it sort of organically developed from that so I kept getting better, and the band kept getting more specific, and we played every week whenever I was in town.

    CM: Back to your acting: Fans love you for roles ranging from The Fly to Jurassic Park and, most recently, The Mountain. What are some of your favorites?

    JG: Let’s see … I think I’m doing my better work more recently. I had a wonderful time with Mr. Steven Spielberg on those couple of movies. I like The Tall Guy, and those Wes Anderson movies. I think my most interesting stuff is ahead of me.

    CM: With your best work ahead of you: We know you can act, sing, and play. Can we expect a live, one-man show, a la Hugh Jackman, down the line?

    JG: Gosh, have I ever done a one-man show? I do love to play, and I love people ... but a one-man show? You think?

    CM: Jeff, a one-man Jeff Goldblum show would sell out across the country.

    JG: Really … ? [Intrigued, Goldblum trails off, deep in thought of the possibilities].

    “Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified, The Immersive Rock Experience!” opens at Artechouse in May.

    A new art exhibit puts viewers into the heart of rock and roll. Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified, The Immersive Rock Experience opens this Thursday, May 15 at Artechouse, the immersive art venue that opened last year in the Heights. With its 270-degree, floor-to-ceiling digital canvases in 18K-resolution and state-of-the-art surround sound, viewers will feel they’ve stepped into some of music’s most iconic moments.

    Narrated by Kevin Bacon, Amplified includes 1,000 photographs, 200 videos, 1,300 Rolling Stone covers, and features more than 300 artists whose music changed the world. Using sight, sound, and motion, this dynamic exhibit makes music history approachable and immediate for viewers. Here's a sneak peek:

    Houstonians know our city has its own deep connections to genre-shaking music history. From The Beatles at the Sam Houston Coliseum, to Elvis at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Bob Dylan’s “Night of the Hurricane” in 1976, and being the hometown of Beyoncé, Bun B, ZZ Top, Megan Thee Stallion, and many more, Houston has cultivated and welcomed artists with choruses of boisterous cheers and applause.

    "Given Houston’s deep connection to the evolution of rock and pop music over the decades, we were thrilled to partner with Rolling Stone to bring Amplified to Houstonians and continue the city’s tradition of supporting and celebrating musical acts from around the world," says Sandro Kereselidze, co-founder of Artechouse. "This exhibit aligns perfectly with our mission to connect the public with cultural and artistic storytelling through cutting-edge technology. We’re excited for guests of all ages to experience the history of rock ‘n’ roll like never before."

    The show was originally produced by Illuminarium Experiences and created by Brand New World Studios in partnership with Rolling Stone. Viewers who attend the Artechouse experience can keep their immersive experience going at the venue’s Reality (XR) Bar, serving cocktails and mocktails that dovetail with the exhibit. Blending cutting-edge XR technology with craft mixology, drinks come to life through exclusive XR activations, which are accessible via Artechouse’s XR mobile app. Guests can downtown the app from the App Store or Google Play.

    “Music imagery is about experiences,” said Jodi Peckman, executive producer and former creative director of Rolling Stone. “It’s about the unbridled joy of concerts and our connection to our favorite artists. Every picture tells a story and Rolling Stone Presents: AMPLIFIED has hundreds of stories to tell.”

    Timed tickets are available online and at the venue, and advanced reservations are strongly encouraged. Admission starts at $39 plus fees for adults and $29 plus fees for children, ages 17 and under. Tickets are currently available through August 31.
