Our Take

Tubby Hayes Quartet's "A Little Workout - Live At The Little Theatre" is a swinging, sensational jazz album that truly gets the heart pumping and the feet tapping. Hayes, known for his virtuosic saxophone playing, leads the quartet with an infectious energy that is impossible to resist.

From the first notes of the opening track, "Bluesology," it's clear that this is a group of musicians who are at the top of their game. Hayes' saxophone solos are nothing short of mesmerizing, with each note dripping with emotion and skill. The rhythm section, comprised of bassist Ron Mathewson and drummer Spike Wells, provides a solid foundation for Hayes to soar over, while pianist Terry Shannon adds tasteful flourishes throughout.

The live setting of The Little Theatre adds an extra layer of intimacy to the album, making the listener feel as though they are right there in the club, soaking up the vibes and grooving along with the band. The audience's enthusiastic applause between tracks only adds to the electric atmosphere.

Overall, "A Little Workout" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking for a dose of pure musical joy. With its blend of intricate melodies, fiery solos, and infectious grooves, it's a record that will have you coming back for more time and time again. Tubby Hayes and his quartet have truly created something special with this live recording – a little workout for the soul.
