I had never bothered with Tubby prior to hearing this - I was biased against British jazz - but this knocked my socks off. Not just the beauty, but the tremendous skill involved. A first class bunch of musicians led by a genius.

This is a great number written by Tubby. Beautiful! It's a pity you just never hear anyone playing this stuff now. It's just such a great sound and there's like no histrionics to it. Just great, well played, feel good music.

There is simply a joyful HAPPINESS that comes of out Tubby Hayes' big band. That's a very delicate thing to do, to project happiness, that's a very artistic thing to do, to project HAPPINESS, that's a very magical things to do, to have a big band project HAPPINESS, that's a WONDERFUL thing to do, to PORTRAY, DELIVER and to PROJECT HAPPINESS. Such a noble thing the Tubby Hayes band did, they PROJECTED HAPPINESS, into a world that needs that precious delicate experience of HAPPINESS and therefore the Tubby Hayes Big Band has earned an honored spot in the history of ALL music, because unlike ANY other group of formal or informal musicians, Tubby Hayes' band gave up HAPPINESS THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DUPLICATED ! My WORLD SALUTES TUBBY HAYES !

What a lovely track, I love Terry Shannon's neat intro and later solo and Tubby's flute solos, from a time when tenor players doubled on flute rather than soprano. And that slightly lopsided waltz rhythm at just the right tempo -- with superb drumming from Allan Ganley - and not forgetting a very good arrangement.
@tat3917
5 жыл бұрын
Interestingly, there is a recording (live, if I recall) of him playing this tune on soprano. And Ganley doesn't get nearly the nods he should get in these comments. His riffs at the opening are perfect, and his cymbal crash before the last two chords is exactly what was appropriate.

In the mid sixties I was hooked on American Big Bandss like Woody Herman and didn't pay much attention to Tubby. What an idiot I was. This is as good as anything I've ever heard. My loss I suppose so thanks for posting this. Very nice to see the immaculate Alan Ganley on drums. I first saw him with John Dankworth in 1954.and I think he was still with him when he died last year. 55 years is a long time and I bet they miss him.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk is famous for this technique you scat the note you're playing at the same time, in this case in Eb, and those really good at it you can scat in harmony giving the illusion of playing two separate different notes on a mono tone instrument..

@Oodles666 The technique is commonly used by many jazz flute players. It is achieved by singing the note whilst playing it on the flute. A tip....sing softly at first so you let the instrument speak clearly. Check out Robert Dick on you tube he calls it throat tuning. As well as a great power boost for flute it actually improves tone and embouchure. Try it....hope this helps....Happy tooting!

I've been listening to some of the American Big Bands, Buddy Rich, Basie, that sort of thing but they never played this sort of gentle jazz. I remember Jack Sharp (baritone here) and his big band and they played this kind of stuff so often as did Cliff Hardie's band both at the Bulls Head. Is it a British thing?
