Our Take

Tubby Hayes Quartet's "Invitation: Live At The Top Alex 1973" is a time capsule of groovy goodness that will have you bopping in your seat faster than you can say "jazz hands." This album is like a musical teleportation back to the 70s, where oversized collars and funky beats reigned supreme.

Hayes' saxophone skills are on full display here, weaving effortlessly through complex melodies with the finesse of a seasoned pro. The quartet's chemistry is palpable, each member playing off of each other with the precision of a well-oiled machine.

From the smooth vibes of "Serenade to a Cuckoo" to the frenetic energy of "Doxy," every track on this album is a pure delight for the ears. The live setting only adds to the magic, capturing the raw energy and spontaneity of a jazz performance in its purest form.

If you're a fan of jazz or just looking to add a bit of pizzazz to your music collection, "Invitation: Live At The Top Alex 1973" is an absolute must-listen. So grab your cocktail shaker, put on your best beret, and prepare to be transported to a world where groove is king and Tubby Hayes reigns supreme. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
