Jools Holland
OBE DL was born Julian Miles Holland on 24th January, 1958 in Blackheath,
South East London. At the age of 15 Jools was introduced to Glenn Tilbrook and Chris
Difford; together they formed Squeeze, and shortly afterwards they were joined by Gilson
Lavis (who had already played with, among others, B. B. King, Chuck Berry and Max Wall),
who still drums with Jools.
Up The Junction
and
Cool For Cats
gave Squeeze meteoric
success and their popularity rapidly extended to America, where their tour included
performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
In 1987 Jools formed The Jools Holland Big Band, comprising himself and Gilson Lavis.
This has gradually metamorphosed into the current 20-piece Jools Holland and his Rhythm
& Blues Orchestra, which consists of pianist, organist, drummer, three female vocals,
guitar, bass guitar, two tenor saxophones, two alto saxophones, baritone saxophone, three
trumpets, and four trombones.
As always, Jools continues to dazzle audiences across the UK with his Rhythm & Blues
Orchestra and their exuberant live performances. They have just come off an extensive
UK tour and, for the 21st year in a row, celebrated the dawn of the new year with the
whole nation on BBC2’s New Year’s Eve TV Show
