0017 Tubby Hayes [London Jazz Quartet] FLAC 14(41.27)
















Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Originally recorded by Jeff Kruger for his Ember label on 14 May 1959 it was leased to Tempo who put it out as a 12" lp just called 'The London Jazz Quartet'. The original Tempo release is scarce, very collectable and expensive but the tracks have been re-issued in various permutations over the years.
Kruger said that it was recorded as 'soft, easy jazz' for music library purposes but the musicians are all top rate multi-instrumentalists with Tubby Hayes and Alan Branscombe being extensively featured on their various instruments.
The tracks are taken from an Ember cd re-issue called 'Tubby Hayes-Portrait'.
Ripped in FLAC from cd with cover scan from original lp and tracks details from cd.
