* February 2005 :
Concert Dates - Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues Orchestra *
|
|
|
 |
In 1987 Jools Holland formed his first
Big Band comprising just himself and drummer Gilson Lavis. Over the years, this
has gradually metamorphosed into the current 19-piece Rhythm & Blues
Orchestra which currently consists of 1 pianist, 1 drummer, 2 femail vocalists,
1 guitar, 1 bass guitar, 1 organ, 2 tenor saxophones, 2 alto saxophones, 1
baritone saxophone, 3 trumpets, and 4 trombones.
The Band have a hectic tour schedule which offers up plenty of opportunities to
see Ruby singing live with one of the best Rhythm & Blues outfits in the
Country {if not the world?!}.
At most of Jools' concerts, Ruby as a "very special guest singer"
gets to perform 2-3 songs in the main set, and a couple more during the
inevitable lively encores.
Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra play up to 100 concerts a
year. Whilst most of these concerts are in the UK, the increasing popularity of
Jools and the Band now means there are often several European dates too.
