0274 Tubby Hayes [Down in the Village] FLAC 6(48.31)

Contributed by azule serape, who writes:-
The two albums (this one and Late Spot At Scott's, to be posted separately) were originally recorded for Fontana at Ronnie Scott's Club over the two nights of 17 and 18 May 1962. The Quintet is in cracking form and the atmosphere is well captured in the live recordings although the audience seems surprisingly underwhelmed. That was the story of British Jazz in the 1960s.
These particular recordings were taken from the OOP cd re-issue on Redial.
The almost forgotten man of jazz, pianist Gordon Beck, had a short stay with Tubby during 1962/1963 before regular pianist Terry Shannon re-joined and whilst he plays competently enough here he doesn't really seem to 'gel' with this particular group. But just listen to the drumming master class delivered by Allan Ganley. He could swing the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra when he is on form like this.

Jimmy Deuchar - trumpet
Tubby Hayes - soprano, tenor, vibes
Gordon Beck - piano
Freddie Logan - bass
Allan Ganley - drums

    One of the huge benefits of this blog for me has been discovering the music of Tubby Hayes - who had rather passed me by before that. It's been a bit of a revelation. He was really up there with the best. Anyway, this is another great one - splendid rhythm work from drums and bass and great to hear Tubby on both sax and vibes. The thing is, I've not heard Jimmy Deuchar before. Going to have to work on him a bit now, I think :-)
