Josh Groban Chilling 'Moon River' Cover
Check out this beautiful rendition from Josh Groban of “Moon River” from his new album titled Cinematic. The album is full of wonderful movie classics, a genre that sounds perfect with Josh Groban’s incredible voice. This particular song on the album is especially special to Josh because he included his own father playing the trumpet in it.
‘Moon river, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day,
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way’
This classic song was written by Henry Mancini and originally performed by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. And Josh Groban’s take on this lovely song will leave listeners wanting more. In an interview, he shares how it felt to include his dad, Jack, in his newest project.

“This is the first time he’s been on record period,” Josh says. “I knew he could play and when (conductor/arranger) Vince Mendoza wrote this brilliant rendition of ‘Moon River’ I asked (my dad) if he thought he could handle the arrangement. He practiced at home, and I’d come to the house and listen to him play it. He’s going to be 80 this summer. He really crushed it. (Album producer) Greg Wells took the initiative to get Sunset Sound, Louis Armstrong’s favorite studio and room, and got his stool for my dad to sit on. My whole family came to watch. It was a core memory for all of us.”
Josh Groban continued, sharing about how much he admires his dad and his talent.
“My dad is the coolest guy I know. On the surface he doesn’t get thrown. This meant so much to him, too, and for us to share as a father and son,” says Josh. “He sacrificed so much. He was a musician. He was brilliant at the trumpet, but it was a time when deciding to go all-in on an artistic dream was at odds with a family. So my brother and I could stand on the back of that stability to follow our artistic dream.”
