Tubby Hayes Interview Circa 1960 (Part Two)

[@paulrichards5347]

One of the greatest (if not the greatest) British jazz musicians. ❤

Thanks for sharing Tubby's interview (parts 1 & 2). Unmissable.

[@robjones2408]

Tubbs' comments re the British trad jazz movement of the period was spot on :- "I don't see how that kind of music is going to get anywhere !" Within three years of that interview, the trad jazz scene was utterly crushed by the twin movements of four lovable chaps from Liverpool, and a group of sullen lads from London.....

Many thanks indeed for hearing my hero!

I posted the other day s’thing like “I have recently been wondering about time travel.”

What a great post!...Many thanks!!!

Thanks. Album liner notes can only teach us so much. Within a few minutes of ordinary recorded conversation from a person we soon learn so much which should otherwise have been forgotten. I hope someone can say, definitively, one day, who the interviewer was. Was it not written on the recording's box, or anywhere ?

i particularly like your use of stills to complement tubby's thoughts

[@paulacton7595]

I think the interviewer might be Ken Sikora.. He took over from Steve Race on Jazz Record Requests for a couple of years.

8min42 isn't Tubby. It's Sal Nistico!

Someone should do a biography of Tubby, I'd buy it.

[@simonspillett1279]

Someone is! :-)

Dear Simon, your biography on Tubbs is one of the finest I have ever read. I put it in the same league as Peter Guralnick's "Last Train To Memphis" about Elvis, and James Kaplan's two volumes on Sinatra.
