About Jools Holland

Jools Holland has parlayed his considerable skill as a boogie woogie pianist into superstardom as a television host, a gig so popular in his British homeland he was awarded an OBE. It was an unlikely journey for a keyboardist who started out as a founding member of Squeeze. Holland left Squeeze just prior to their greatest commercial success, winding up co-presenting The Tube with Paula Yates. Holland would later return to Squeeze for a spell, forming his jump-blues outfit the Jools Holland Big Band along the way, but television was his calling. In 1992, he launched Later…With Jools Holland, a live music program that became a British institution in the ensuing decades. While Later remained on the air, Holland continued recording and touring with the Jools Holland Big Band, also embarking on such side projects as duet albums with Jose Feliciano, Marc Almond, and Rod Stewart.
