]]> Jools Holland “Jools Holland and his Millionaires” 1981. Today, January 24th, is Jools Holland’s birthday (b. Julian Miles Holland 1958). Jools Holland and his Millionaires was his first full-length release after leaving temporarily leaving Squeeze in ‘80 (he returned as Squeeze’s keyboardist in ‘85 and played with them until ’90). This is my first spin of the record – Joe just picked it up this past weekend – and it surprised me by being a mix of Squeeze-like jazzy new wave tunes (“Much More Hope Than Me”), piano-pounding, upright bass-slapping rockin’ rhythm and blues (like “Dynaflow”) and gospel-inspired, raise-the-church-roof Jerry Lee Lewis-level rollicking boogie woogie (“Let Me In”). I’m not sure the mix flows particularly well as a cohesive album, but several of the tracks work well as single-listens, especially the crazy “Bumble Boogie,” a ska’d out hyper speed track with a jogging bass line worthy of a madcap caper flick and a lightning-speed piano solo.
