Description
This is a repress of a previously limited LP, and in addition now available on CD for the first time. A major release in the cult British jazz icon's canon, important in that it is a previously unavailable live performance from a lineup that never made a commercially available album. Taped at the legendary Hopbine pub in North Wembley by the enigmatic Ted Lyons. It plugs an aching gap in Hayes' discography.Includes Louis Stewart on guitar, Ken Baldock on bass, and Spike Wells on drums, all musicians in their prime. Unusual direction with a pianoless quartet featuring guitar.
With detailed sleeve notes by tenor saxophonist and Hayes biographer Simon Spillett. For fans of British Jazz, Hard Bop.
"Yet another example of Tubby Hayes' world-class tenor sax stylings with a tidy rhythm section urging him on throughout." - Derek Ansell, Jazz Journal.
"This is a desirable rarity, fleshing out Tubby Hayes' all too slender discography" - Andrew Cartmel, LondonJazz News.
Musicians: Tubby Hayes - Tenor Saxophone, Louis Stewart - Guitar, Kenny Baldock - Double Bass, Spike Wells - Drums.
