Squeeze keyboardist Jools Holland hosts this BBC series that takes him to the great cities of the world, where he illuminates their cultural hearts via music and the arts. From riverside bars in Dublin to the back seat of a Chicago cab, Holland learns from and jams with musicians he meets along the way. Van Morrison, the Chieftains, Ruben González and a horde of other artists pop up as Holland treks across the globe.
