Editorial Reviews

Tubby again demonstrates what a staggeringly efficient all-rounder he truly was, and what a void still exists in the canon of great British jazz musicians. Included is a highly entertaining 'warts-and-all' interview with Tubby in intimate mode. This CD is proudly presented to help his legions of new fans to further appreciate his fine playing. Harkit Records. 2005.

This review is from: Live in London, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

THIS IS A LIVE HAYES SET - AND THOUGH THE RECORDING QUALITY IS A BIT UNEVEN DUE TO POOR MIC PLACEMENT(PROBABLY AN OLD PORTABLE REEL TO REEL) TUBBY'S SOLO ON "AS CLOSE AS YOU ARE" IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM. THE TUNE IS A MEDIUM TEMPO SWINGER WITH THE RHYTHM SECTION LAYING DOWN A VERY HEAVY GROOVE. HAYES SOLO IS A STUNNING MUSICAL DRAMA FEATURING BEAUTIFULLY LYRICAL PHRASES INTERPOSED WITH HIS LOCOMOTIVE LIKE DOUBLE TIMING. THE SOLO - MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS PROVES AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT TUBBY WAS ONE THE MOST COMPELLING JAZZ INSTRUMENTALISTS - EVER - AND CERTAINLY ONE OF THE GREATEST TENOR PLAYERS - AND YES THAT INCLUDES ROLLINS, COLTRANE AND DEXTER AND ALL THE REST. IF THE RECORDING QUALITY WERE BETTER THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN FIVE STARS.
