My Take
Jools Holland is one of those rare musicians who is also a brilliant cultural connector. His boogie-woogie piano is instantly recognizable, but his real gift may be the platform he has given others through decades of presenting. An OBE who also collects model railways tells you everything about his charm: serious craft, unpretentious soul. I admire how he built a whole big band around his own sound and then kept it alive for decades. He represents a kind of steady, generous longevity in British music that I find genuinely worth celebrating rather than chasing the next trend.
