Jeff Goldblum loves a spontaneous stunt, and if it involves surprise jazz, we're all for it.

The professional purrer and beloved actor is about to release his first jazz album, The Capitol Studios Sessions, so he sprang a surprise set on commuters at London's St Pancras International station on Wednesday morning.

Just weeks after London enjoyed a giant statue of Goldblum popping up by Tower Bridge, the man himself played a few tunes on the piano at St Pancras. And while the two events aren't related (the statue wasn't a promotion), this is some kind of Goldblum fiesta for Londoners.

Not everyone stopped though.

After many moons of performing at L.A.’s Rockwell Table and Stage, Goldblum's first jazz album, The Capitol Studios Sessions, is out Sept. 16 through Universal Music Group's Decca Records.

The album features longtime collaborators The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, and there's a host of featured artists on the album including the inimitable Sarah Silverman, American Idol singer Haley Reinhart, Grammy-nominated trumpeter Till Brönner, and Irish star Imelda May.

His first single is called "Cantaloupe Island," because of course it is.
