Info
Jools Holland and His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra play De Montfort Hall, Leicester, on 26 November 2026. A founding member of Squeeze and a longtime bandleader and pianist, Holland has built his name on boogie-woogie, rhythm and blues and swing, delivered here with the punch of a big band. His left hand anchors rolling bass patterns while the right hand fires quick melodic lines; around him, a tight rhythm section and a brass ensemble trade riffs, stabs and solos. The Orchestra works like a modern big band: arrangements that move from jump-blues shuffles to rock’n’roll grooves, space for bluesy tenor breaks and crisp call-and-response between piano and horns. Drawn from projects like Small World Big Band and a catalogue that crosses pop, soul and blues, the repertoire is shaped for the stage, with compact arrangements and room for ensemble dynamics. The set leans on groove, swing and the collective drive that turns classic forms into something immediate.
