Our Take

Tubby Hayes's latest album, "Intensity," is like a musical rollercoaster through the swinging 60s.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a smoky jazz club where Hayes's saxophone takes center stage. His virtuosity is undeniable, weaving intricate melodies with ease and precision.

The album kicks off with the title track, a whirlwind of brass and keys that sets the tone for what's to come. "Requiem" follows, a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Hayes's emotional depth.

But it's tracks like "Riffin'" and "Doxy" that really steal the show. Hayes's playful saxophone solos dance around the rhythm section, pulling you in and never letting go.

The production on "Intensity" is top-notch, capturing Hayes's dynamic performances with clarity and warmth. Each instrument shines through, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is as engaging as it is immersive.

Overall, "Intensity" is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Tubby Hayes's timeless talent shines bright on this album, proving once again why he is a legend in the jazz world. So grab a glass of whisky, dim the lights, and let Hayes's music take you on a wild ride through the golden age of jazz. Cheers to that, old chap!
