The 65-year-old Hollywood star has revealed that the Irish musician will appear on his debut jazz album.
Jeff Goldblum was reportedly offered a record deal by Universal's Decca Records after the label's bosses were impressed when they took notice of him jamming with jazz singer Gregory Porter on the Graham Norton Show.
Speaking about his album, Jeff revealed: "I just did this jazz record and guess who sang guest-singing on it? It was Imelda May. She was so great. Just great."
Jeff has been playing the piano since he was a kid and for almost 30 years he's been playing with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
Jeff said he's tickled pink to be finally releasing an album, saying he's "so happy to be in cahoots with the wonderful people at Decca, one of the coolest and most prestigious labels of all time".
