Wow, well done! Big Tubs fan here, since I was a kid - my dad had an album. England's Charlie Parker.
-
Thanks for posting. Tubs was considered to be on the same level as the very best US tenor players by the time of his untimely death.
He was an excellent vibes player, too.
-
hope you can see this in the uk
cheers

Love this one. Burning stuff.
I need to finish it though. Love the cadenza in the end.

Here’s one of my favourite Tubby Hayes tracks, from his great record ‘Mexican Green’ (the album title being an ‘illicit substance’ reference apparently!)
-
A great documentary about Tubby Hayes, 'A Man in a Hurry' came out in 2015 and is well worth your time and money. It's on DVD and digital rental/purchase: A Man In A Hurry
-
Wow! Thanks for posting the transcription AND the audio! I wasn't familiar with Tubs, but he's got "it" allright!

evening , his rendition of Midnight Sun stunned the audience into silence.
Then we heard Jimmy Deuchar . Bill Le Sage etc, etc heaven...pure heaven.
Where the majority of them now are.

@ full throttle!

I cannot help but enthuse over posts relating
to the Golden Era of British Jazz, highlighting
the incredidible players of that time, long before
i owned or could afford an instrument. Musically
speaking , the most exciting time of my life. Sad
though that few years later it all petered out with
the advent of the “beat boom “and the London
Jazz Clubs were no more .
Many cherished moments have been evoked here
so thanks for the memories

think Tubby was one of the very few or possibly the only British sax player the americans invited to the USA to record..considered on par with there best...british guitarists..not sure . they had plenty time to develop the language..very few could .

also recall Dave Goldberg .and Cedric West ( my jazz tutor )
from the era, there were so many good British Jazz ,musicians
around then,mostly horn players, Eddie Harvey. Bert Courtley
Kathy Stobart .Ronnie Ross, Don Rendell...ad infinitum

Very few of Britain's 'bebop inspired' bands of the late 1940s and early 1950s were recorded..Austerity was around and people with money bought american records...nothing on YOU TUBE...the musicians have faded from the memory of many who enjoyed the music live...

BRITiSH BEBOP...Link
........British bebop...

for any uk jazz fan that might have missed it, we had a good thread started by rob a few seasons back...went all over the place..but lots of good stuff!
UK's Jazz Guitar Pioneers
there's also a great book called innovations in british jazz 1960-1980 by john wickes...a worthy read..a little later than the era we are discussing, but plenty of good back story information
mel knew!
cheers
