Info
On 30 October 2026 at Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea, Jools Holland brings his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra for a set built around his piano and a brass‑forward big‑band sound. Pianist, songwriter and founding member of Squeeze, Holland has spent years shaping a personal take on rhythm and blues, boogie‑woogie and swing, rooted in the blues and rock’n’roll traditions. His quick, rolling right hand meets tight horn arrangements and call‑and‑response grooves, with the orchestra giving his riffs the weight and colour of a full‑stage ensemble.
Across barrelhouse shuffles, jump blues and mid‑tempo swing, the music spotlights solos from the sections while keeping the piano upfront. Arrangements balance precision and looseness, leaving space for improvisation without losing momentum. It’s the sound Holland has honed with this touring orchestra: club blues energy scaled up with big‑band textures, led from the keyboard, live in Southend.
