Tubby Hayes (Tenor Sax)
Staffan Abeleen (Piano); Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (Bass); Alex Riel (Drums)
All tracks previously unissued! The three Scandinavians provided the visiting English soloist with ideal support and were obviously familiar with Hayes's music. He wrote Off The Wagon in 1967. It is wholly typical of his writing and playing, engendering a totally relaxed atmosphere. Tubby's work was always within the mainstream of jazz development and he could often include tunes such as Monk's Rhythm-A-Ning in his programme. There were some critics who found his high-speed note production to accept but like Art Tatum, this was a feature of Hayes's natural form of expression. Listen to his beautiful reading of Jimmy Van Heusen's / Thought About You and you will hear ballad tenor of the very highest order!
One of the unsung heroes of bebop, tenor saxophonist Tubby Hayes was a major player who has always been underrated because he spent his life living and playing in his native England. Butt Hayes was a giant with a sound of his own who could outswing most players. This 1998 CD features Hayes with pianist Staffan Abeleen, bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and drummer Alex Riel at a concert in Sweden just a year before his premature death. Tubby Hayes made very few recordings after 1969, so the Storyville disc shows that, even so close to the end, he never did decline musically. All six of the selections are extended, and four exceed 11 minutes; the highlights include "Without a Song," "Vierd Blues" and "Rhythm-A-Ning." Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Tubby Hayes
Active Decades: '50s and '60s
Born: Jan 30, 1935 in London, England
Died: Jun 08, 1973 in London, England
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Hard Bop, Jazz Instrument, Saxophone Jazz
One of England's top jazz musicians of the 1950s and '60s, Tubby Hayes was a fine hard bop stylist on tenor and occasionally vibes and flute. A professional at 15, Hayes played with Kenny Baker and in the big bands of Ambrose, Vic Lewis, and Jack Parnell during 1951-1955. He led his own group after that, and started doubling on vibes in 1956. Hayes co-led the Jazz Couriers with Ronnie Scott (1957-1959), and appeared in the U.S. a few times during 1961-1965. He headed his own big band in London, sat in with Duke Ellington's Orchestra in 1964, and was featured at many European festivals. Heart trouble forced him out of action during 1969-1971, and caused his premature death. Tubby Hayes led sessions for Tempo (1955-1959), London, Jazzland (1959), Fontana, Epic (a 1961 date with Clark Terry and Horace Parlan), Smash (a 1962 album which matched him with James Moody and Roland Kirk), 77, Spotlite, and Mole.
