Tubby Hayes for Fontana from 1961. Saxophone [Tenor] - Tubby Hayes; Bass - George Duvivier; Drums - Dave Bailey ;Piano - Horace Parlan ; Trumpet - Clark Terry;Vibraphone - Eddie Costa Another first in blogland for this British vinyl rarity at OIR with Tubbs keeping heavy company in NYC . Apparently there was legal wrangling about who owns the masters so don't hold your breath waiting for a cd issue.The last one got pulled pronto upon release in 1990. The swaggering "A Pint Of Bitter" was my very first exposure to Hayes back in the early 80s - I just love that tune - but the rest is just as good with flat out romps through "Opus Ocean" and "Airegin" plus a wonderfuly swinging "Soon" . Nice!

Tubby Hayes for Tempo from 1960. Tubby Hayes (ts), Terry Shannon (p), Phil Bates (b), Phil Seamen (d). "Tin Tin Deo" killin' it every time for me on this rare piece of British wax from 50 years ago. Simon Spillet has written a fascinating piece on Tubby at Jazzscript and here's his take on this album: I think it's one of Tubby's best ever studio recordings and catches him very much in his prime. I suppose that the stand-out track for me has to be Sunny Monday with its unaccompanied tenor choruses. The tone is big, the rhythmic delivery is full of confidence and the sheer enthusiasm shines through half a century on.
