The Soho Soul was a class act. It is great to hear the London accent now forever silent, discussing his work and possible future. It didn't quite work out due to a number of factors, but Tubbs left some wonderful albums to remind the listener of his brilliant talent.
On leave in 1956 and staying wih an army buddy at his parents place, over the river from the Battersea power station. He took me to Club M and I seen 'The Jazz Couriers' for the first time. My first live jazz event ! 17 years later , the week before leaving Liverpool to emigrate to Australia , Tubby died and the later the same week I had arranged to see Ronnie Scott at The Adelphi hotel in Liverpool , A strange and sad coincident.
Thank you so much. Just wonderful stuff. I'm only 30 but I was raised on tubby Hayes and Louis Stewart and Ronnie and tony lee and bill le sarge. Thank you dad!!! Any one interested in trading music or just chatting jazz reply to this.
Mike Hyde Hello Mike lam a big tubby hayes. Fan I am 53 years.old I dig the British jazz players like Alan skidmore tenor sax dick morrisey tenor sax. Pete king alto sax. Ronnie Ross baritone sax .Joe harriott alto sax Phil seamen drums Alan ganley drums. Stan Tracey piano Terry Shannon piano .lennie bush.bass. Keith Christie trombone. Louie Stewart guitar. Terry smith guitar Dave Goldberg guitar. Les Condon trumpet.your dad would know them regards British jazz fan g g Boyle nz.
My dad told me the SAME thing: I got a job & far from my trombone and piano; without applying my innate stubbornness to push ahead no matter what the most significant persons in my life said. If you're currently in the same boat I was then: GO FOR IT! Wish these guys in the vid were my children's or grandchildren's ages rather than mine or my dads. Long live jazz! I'm comforted when I hear a young men or women play from their soul the fluency and creativity of musicians like these. Doesn't matter who you are or where in the world you come from. I can mention the U.S., Canada, The UK, Germany, Netherlands, Japan, etc; there are breath taking Jazz players through out the world. Globalism is a nightmare, but letting music flow freely from all times in the 20th cen. & beyond will make the recording companies and their up-jump controllers realize they'll have better sales if they produce something other that the current Neanderthal level of creativity currently displayed in popular music.
+jeff Craven Well observed. Tubbs was an ordinary guy who made extraordinary music. That's why he is still so highly revered after all these years. A true one off talent. People like him don't appear that often, if at all.
Amazing! Wonderful! So good to hear for the first time.
Thanks you, as a life-long Tubby Hayes fan it was so nice to hear this.
The Soho Soul was a class act.
It is great to hear the London accent now forever silent, discussing his work and
possible future. It didn't quite work out due to a number of factors, but Tubbs left
some wonderful albums to remind the listener of his brilliant talent.
I only recently got to know about him. His flute play is out of this world.
I was just thinking that m'self about his accent. His voice brings back wonderful memories of my Grandad Stan (from Peckham).
Thanks for this....a vital piece of British jazz history.
Many thanks indeed for hearing my hero!

Very nice i thinks thanks for posting.
Wonderful to hear Tubbs
A Top Brit is Tubby!
if you like tubby check the rare 1960 jazz club reel to reel tape on ebay
Interviewer could be Steve Race(??)
I think the interviewer might be Charles Fox
6.18 . is NOT Tubby Hayes
very good interview- peter clayton comes to mind but not a perfect match.
If it is a 1960 BBC Jazz Session programme, the interviewer is probably Hector Stewart
@almapercussion Ok, found it...
NOT Steve Race...
6.17 is NOT Tubby Hayes ....Please
SelmerSax4u it’s Simon spillet who has wrote so much about tubby
I’m baffled as to why Harold McNair isn’t mentioned when we talk about Mr Hayes. They sound very similar and are from around the same time.
Tubby was great......it's just that I prefer Dick Morrissey....more soul!
Dick had a lot of respect for Tubby, though, as a human being, mentor and musician
