As the U.K.’s most popular pianist and bandleader, Jools Holland O.B.E. has performed and recorded with some of the most talented musicians and songwriters in the world, including Eric Clapton, the late George Harrison and Luther Vandross, Sting, BB King and Paul Weller.
Jools is respected not only as a performer, but also an authority on all music. His BBC 2show Later…with Jools Holland is now broadcasting its 46th series featuring artists from all time periods, countries, and genres.
The 20-piece Rhythm & Blues Orchestra features, at its helm, former Squeeze drummer, Gilson Lavis. Lavis has been drumming with Jools Holland for over 25 years, since their Squeeze days. They are joined by Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall, who are sure to deliver true rhythm and blues boogie woogie with their show-stopping vocals.
As ever, Jools continues to dazzle, involve and impress audiences with his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra and their exuberant live performances, and this dynamic performer will be on stage for Liverpool audiences on July 23rd as he returns to the city as part an extensive tour.
