Yeah, Tubby Hays and the band cooking,Tubby blowing a storm.None are these cats are second rate.They mean business excellent.
Yeah Iv'e traded notes with Pete king a few times over last twenty years.Pete king another great great player.
Unwittingly Tubbys music explaining the mood of the country and the London scene at that time. The kids at college take note.

Tubby's improvisation was so melodic. That kind of instant harmonic knowledge, not just a bag of phrases he pulled out like some players. My favourite soloist since I first heard him in the early sixties. The only other guy who was melodic in this way in my opinion was Kenny Burrel and maybe Mel Rhyne. Terrific stuff, Thanks for posting.

Tubby was truly a virtuoso. Fine band as well. Really good stuff.

Not many have pased the musicianship of these guys, especially Tubby. But he could do the ballads aswell, witness "You Know I Care".
Love the free jazz stuff at 6.30. Archaic these days and some would say the destruction of progressive jazz but Tubby kind of made it acceptable.

Thanks, Moglider. I recognized his sound; I really loved his rendition of "Summer of '42" with Maynard's band. A good buddy of mine said that when Cannonball passed, Pete King was Nat's first choice. I'm not a bit surprised.
