`Later... with Jools Holland' is one of *the* best music shows on British
TV (IMO). Basically, a number of bands get together in a largish TV
studio and do their live stuff... The music is varied (this week there
was Aimee Mann, Blur, Soul II Soul, some Algerian trio - and probably
some other people) so whilst you might tune in to hear a particular
artist, you also get exposed to other musics which may be completely new
to you. Ok, for those of you heavily into techno etc. then it's probably
not for you. If, however, you're into broadening your musical horizons,
then it's pretty good...
Jools Holland is (for those who didn't know) a *shit hot* pianist,
especially boogie-woogie/R&B styles. He used to be the keyboard player
for `Squeeze'. He's currently on a UK tour (I think) and he's playing
York Barbican Centre on Dec. 8th. Fantastic!
