As the pianist and host of a music programme on the BBC, Jools Holland has developed a cult following. With the same mix of coolness and dedication, he brought his own big band to Basel.

The perfect companion for this night of music heroes was blues rocker Gary Moore. In the long-running series «Later with Jools Holland» (on the air since 1992!), this musician and TV presenter has set a new standard for excellence in live music on television.  His true passion, however, is his 18-piece R&B Orchestra. Even closer to the blues is Gary Moore, the eternally underrated guitar hero from Belfast.
