Los Angeles MagazineMy LA to Z: Jeff Goldblum
By Chris Nichols
The actor and star of the fresh-from-Broadway play "Seminar" opens up about being on Glee, getting old jeans altered, and playing in a jazz band called the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
I have this jazz band called the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra and we’ve been playing at the Lexington Social House. It’s a nice place on Vine Street and you can sit and have a nice dinner or drop in and have a drink. People get up and sing spontaneously and have a little hootenanny.
I like to go to the ArcLight. Remember when they first put commercials before movies and everybody would boo and hiss? At ArcLight they don’t have commercials. I’m always very encouraging to the ushers before the show. I always clap; they all seem very good.
Capitol Records
I was on Glee and we recorded at Capitol Records. Brian Stokes Mitchell and I went over there and recorded an extended version of You’re The Top and we did that little duet and recorded in those rooms where Frank Sinatra and The Beatles did, and that’s a spectacular place, a beautiful thing. I love it. When they light that building up it makes me feel bright and delightful and warm. They have old black and white photographs in the halls and it’s goosechilling!
