Jools Holland’s New Orleans Jukebox

Programme celebrating the 40th anniversary of the original transmission of the legendary Tube special Walking to New Orleans, highlights of which included Fats Domino, Lee Dorsey, Allen Toussaint, Dr John and The Neville Brothers.

In this two-hour special, the programme is repeated, and Jools reveals the stories behind its making and explores his love of the music of New Orleans.

At the piano, Jools reflects on the music that has inspired him throughout his life, and we feature some of his favourite performances he has selected from the BBC archives, including Mahalia Jackson, Chris Barber and Ottilie Patterson, Louis Armstrong, Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint and Trombone Shorty.
