2008 UK 27-track 2-CD album set - Following the successful series of 'Jools Holland and Friends' albums, this infectious musical force decided it was time to bring focus back to the strength of the 20 piece Rhythm & Blues Orchestra. A true showcase in musicianship with its classic horn and rhythm sections plus Jools' unique piano playing, the 17-track album reflects the party atmosphere of their ever popular live shows. Opening with the soulful title track featuring the smooth tones of vocalist Ruby Turner, Jools Holland & co quickly establish the beginnings of an eclectic big band party; along with the gentle string led anthemic 'I Went By', showcasing a timeless soul vocal provided by Louise Marshall, and the traditional 'I Know Where I Am Going' with Rico Rodriguez [famed Jamaican ska and reggae trombonist and member of the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra]. Complete with a Bonus CD of exclusive live recordings from Wells & Rochester Cathedrals.
