Jools with his pick of classical, jazz and blues

Jools Holland introduces music he loves by Ravel, Dobrinka Tabakova, Oscar Peterson and Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou.

In his new show for Saturday lunchtimes, Jools shares his lifelong passion for classical music. With fascinating guests each week who bring their own favourite music and occasionally perform live in Jools's studio.

Today, Jools's choices include music by Maurice Ravel, Dobrinka Tabakova and Oscar Peterson, with performances from Django Reinhardt, Tito Schipa and Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou. His guest is Robert Tucker, the co-custodian of Restoration House in Rochester, Kent - an Elizabethan mansion where music performances take place throughout the year. Robert introduces pieces by Handel, Haydn and Schmelzer and talks about how the atmosphere and materials in a space can affect our appreciation of music.
