It's not quite Childish Gambino hitting number one the week Solo: A Star Wars Story is released, but just as Jeff Goldblum prepares to return to Jurassic Park in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (June 22), he's announced his debut album. The genre? Jazz piano.

"As far as I can tell, everyone loves Jeff Goldblum. It's like a universal truth," said Tom Lewis of Decca Records. "His love of jazz is infectious and whenever he plays he makes you feel very happy. If we can take Jeff's music into people's homes then we will be helping, in our own small way, to make the world a happier place."

Details on a title and release date have yet to be revealed. (Pitchfork)

"We have got our hands on quite a large boat, and we're loading it up with some ace groups for a four-day sail round The Med," the band said in a statement. The four-day Mediterranean cruise, set for Aug. 8-12, 2019, will also feature "yoga, cocktails, club nights, quizzes, and Scrabble tournaments," reports NME.

The Boss helps Broadway set a record

Broadway has just set a revenue record, making $1.7 billion over the season that just concluded. One of the big draws? Bruce Springsteen, whose very sold-out solo shows played to small audiences...but audiences paying an average of $503. The other huge hits included Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen, with ticket prices soaring due to dynamic pricing that drops costs for low-demand shows while hiking it up for the best seats on weekends.
