About
The irrepressible Jools Holland is well-known to Americans for his stint as Squeeze's keyboardist, as well as for his charismatic co-hosting of the TV series Night Music with David Sanborn in the late 1980s. He's the musically talented answer to David Letterman in Great Britain, where Later With Jools Holland places him in a wonderfully intimate "chat and play" format with such guests as Paul Weller and the Beautiful South. His own solo albums are a frothy, pub-friendly mix of classic R&B, Jump Blues and Ska -- think of a Swing Revival version of Madness or Ian Dury.
