Gary Davies sits in with Jeff Goldblum choosing his Tracks Of My Years

Hollywood royalty-turned-jazz-superstar Jeff Goldblum chooses his Tracks Of My Years. Plus there's record and album of the week, and more Ten To The Top.

Hollywood royalty-turned-jazz-superstar Jeff Goldblum shares his musical memories on Tracks Of My Years.

Making his film debut 50 years ago in Death Wish, he really shot to fame in sci-fi horror The Fly, in 1986, and since then he’s starred in a series of iconic films including Jurassic Park , Independence Day and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Now as well known for his music as his acting, Jeff has released three jazz albums with his band The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, and recently released a cover version of Taylor Swift's 'Lover'.

At the start of July Jeff launched a new Radio 2 series called 'The Power Of Jazz', and has also curated a special jazz playlist as part of 'Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 2 Loves Jazz' season.

He’ll be back on our cinema screens in the autumn playing 'The Wizard' in the film adaptation of ‘Wicked’, and in August he's starring as Zeus in the Netflix series KAOS, a contemporary and comic take on Greek mythology.

There's also more Ten To The Top and the Record and Album Of The Week, and whatever you're up to, Gary wants to hear from you - email gary.davies@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is TTTT@bbc.co.uk
