Self-Confirmed 2019

[Krazypinkminx]

Yes ?

Read a nice story online recently.

A young woman was in a bar in NY and saw a guy who looked like Jeff Goldblum.

Went up to him and told him that.

He said 'who'?

So she showed him a photo of Jeff on her phone to which the bloke replied 'Well, thanks, he's a good looking fellow'.

And they took a selfie so she could show her friends the dude she met who looked just like Jeff Goldblum.

To which they responded 'Uh, yeah, that's totally Jeff Goldblum'.

Proper chap.

[BlueDaze]

you missed Jeff coming out of the Longdrops...

[sime]

So long as he doesn't clash with anyone, I will definitely be attending Mr Goldblums performance. What a lovely surprise this is!

[Sasperella]

This announcement has rinsed all my up-votes in double-quick time

Given La Goldblum's album a listen tonight, hope it's either Acoustic, fairly late on, or somewhere outdoors and sunny where you can lie back and let that shiznitt wash over you.

Top up my Shiraz, my good man...

Whether Im too thick, too common or whatever, I cant get into Jazz.

I tried that album earlier myself & it just starts to annoy me.

Sadly, Ill end up giving him.a miss.

Potentially a great acoustic set there, can’t help but feel it would get a bit lost on the pyramid

How long have you got, @FuzzyDunlop?!

Getting into ‘Jazz’ is like getting into ‘Dance Music’. There are so, so many styles and sub-genres under the umbrella term. Classic improv? Trad? Big Band? Modern? It goes on and on. The sort of set that the amiable Mr Goldblum plays is very easy listening and gentle stuff, quite poppy with a few jazz standards arranged fairly simply by jazz chart standard. For my part, I love jazz, but not all jazz, by any means. This has, in part, been nurtured by Child 3 who plays in a pretty decent jazz orchestra who attempt some amazing and sometimes incredibly difficult charts. Watching and listening to some of that stuff (mostly from the advanced Big Band repertoire) is mind-blowing when you try to analyse the complexity of what the composer wrote. The intricacy of the arrangements leave you wondering how the hell anyone could write stuff like that! I’m not a huge fan of endlessly noodling improv, when the various players spend 5 minutes each demonstrating their dexterity and speed of intonation (sort of a jazz Eddie Van Halen!), without any natural song flow. Similarly, I’m not into smooth, cheesy jazz. Can be very Muzak-y. But when Big Band is top class....woah! 

If you want, I could get Child 3 to rec you some pearls!!!

Oi I listen to both the jazz albums that get Best New Music on Pitchfork each year and then agree that they are good so I think I know a thing or two about jazz thank you!

[giantkatestacks]

I would love a bit of Goldblum and Porter. Thats the level of jazz I can get behind.

[cdm22]

Jeff Goldblum spends half the time chatting to the audience anyway

That's unfair. It's not remotely contemporary.

[thisisthesam]

Palace definitely will be there. 100%

Will explain how I know once it's all confirmed (don't want to get anyone in trouble)

Your booking committee were so preoccupied with whether or not they could book Jeff Goldblum's band that they didn't stop to think if they should.

[Avalon_Fields]

I love jazz...but it took me about 30 years to get it. And it helped as I've worked at the Manchester Jazz Festival for the last 7 years so I can't avoid it, even when sometimes it's too self-indulgent and jarring.

I am sure most people like some types of jazz, how could you not like the classic singers of yesteryear, Ella Fitzgerald or Nat King Cole for example, or the better examples of jazz rock, such as Steely Dan.

If you said “is this a band playing Glastonbury or a food stall in the William’s Green area?”... I would have lost £15,000.

Looking them up on Spotify to add to the big Glastonbury 2019 playlist leads me to this playlist, which looks very much like it is the Croissant Neuf lineup for this year (Casey Rowan appearing to be someone involved in CN, see https://www.facebook.com/pg/croissantneuf69/about/) :

Good to see Mad Dog Mcrea back, and Steve Knightley is a bit of a legend. Not sure what Carl Craig is doing on there! Anyone know any of the others?
