Our Take

Ah, TUBBY HAYES, the saxophone magician from across the pond, has done it again with his latest album "Little Giant Steps." This eclectic mix of jazz and bebop is like a breath of fresh air on a stuffy summer day.

From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you can tell Hayes is a master of his craft. His saxophone skills are impeccable, weaving in and out of each track with ease and precision. The way he effortlessly transitions from fast-paced solos to smooth, sultry melodies is nothing short of genius.

But Hayes isn't the only star of the show on "Little Giant Steps." The backing band is tight, grooving along to each note with infectious energy. The drum fills are crisp, the bass lines are funky, and the piano riffs are simply magical.

The standout track on the album has to be "Swingin' in Soho," a lively tune that will have you tapping your foot and bobbing your head in no time. It perfectly captures the essence of Hayes' unique sound, blending traditional jazz elements with a modern twist.

Overall, "Little Giant Steps" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. It's the perfect soundtrack for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a late-night jam session with friends. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let TUBBY HAYES take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Known for his technical prowess and innovative approach to music, Hayes was a true trailblazer in the genre. From playing alongside legends like Miles Davis and John Coltrane to leading his own successful bands, Hayes was a force to be reckoned with. His music was a fusion of hard bop and British jazz, with influences ranging from bebop to Latin rhythms. Songs like "Pint of Bitter Blues" and "Cool Cat Strut" showcased Hayes' versatility as a musician and composer. But it wasn't just his musical talent that made Hayes a standout figure in the industry. He was also known for his larger-than-life personality and offbeat sense of humour.

Despite his untimely death at the age of 38, Hayes' legacy lives on through his timeless music and unforgettable performances. His impact on the jazz world is undeniable, and his influence can still be heard in the work of modern-day musicians.
