Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, Mavis Staples (2019x100)


: 30, 2019

Mark Radcliffe introduces global movie star and jazz pianist Jeff Goldblum on the West Holts Stage and soul-gospel legend Mavis Staples as she inspires worship on the Pyramid Stage. Goldblum leads the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra with whom he performs regularly in Los Angeles. Their collaboration has led to his recently released debut album, The Capitol Studio Sessions, with a variety of guest vocalists and a jazz fan’s sense of swinging fun. Mavis Staples has enjoyed a remarkable career revival in recent years after singing lead with veteran family group The Staple Singers from the 50s through the 90s on hits like ‘I’ll Take You There’ and ‘Respect Yourself’. Mavis has just released her latest album, We Get By, written and produced by slide guitarist Ben Harper and celebrates her 80th birthday this July.
