Tubby Hayes Quintet/Dancing in the Dark (Savage Solweig SS-002) (From The Northern Echo)

Tubby Hayes Quintet/Dancing in the Dark (Savage Solweig SS-002)

6:20pm Thursday 10th November 2011 in Jazz By Peter Bevan

This second release from Tubby Hayes’ tape archive features Tubby on tenor saxophone and vibes with Jimmy Deuchar on trumpet and mellophonium plus Terry Shannon, Freddy Logan and Allan Ganley.

Even with a little tape distortion on one track it’s a vivid record of a 1964 performance in Nottingham and another reminder of an outstanding talent.

Simon Spillett’s detailed and comprehensive notes really help to set the scene.
