Night Blooms is a 2026 jazz album by Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, released on Universal’s Fontana/Decca imprint as a companion to their 2025 record Still Blooming. The album presents twelve tracks that mix classic Hollywood-era standards with pop detours and “Late Night Session” reworkings, all delivered in Goldblum’s relaxed, charismatic style and anchored by his longtime ensemble’s easy-swinging, club-ready arrangements. Structurally, it extends the “blooming” concept of the previous album by revisiting material and adding new collaborations, positioning Goldblum’s jazz career as a continuing, evolving project rather than a one-off actor-turned-musician novelty.Musically, Night Blooms emphasizes warmth, accessibility, and star-powered chemistry, featuring guest vocal turns from Melody Gardot, Charlie Puth, Cynthia Erivo, dodie, Haley Reinhart, Ariana Grande, Maiya Sykes, and Scarlett Johansson across its standards and reinterpretations. Tracks like “Misty,” “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered,” “If I Only Had a Brain,” and “As Time Goes By” are arranged with rich brass, lyrical piano, and polished ensemble playing, often reimagined as funkier or more modern jazz takes while preserving their melodic familiarity. The “Late Night Session” cuts revisit songs from Still Blooming in more intimate, after-hours club settings, rounding out an album that feels like a cinematic, gently nostalgic tour through the Great American Songbook and adjacent pop repertoire, filtered through Goldblum’s wry, effusive persona.
