Tubby Hayes
JAZZ 625: Last week I presented several rather unknown JAZZ 625 programs as released by the BBC during the 1960s. These popular JAZZ 625 programs are very well preserved and contain a treasure of great jazz performances. Last week I concentrated on British artists like Bill Le Sage, Victor Feldman, Johnny Scott and this time Tubby Hayes. Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes
The Jazz 625 programs with Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Dizzy Gillespie, Ben Webster, Thelonious Monk and Erroll Garner are known to most jazz collectors, but Terry Henebery, the producer of the shows, also sceduled English jazz artists for his weekly program. Today the Tubby Hayes Quintet, not a bit, with a great fragment ............
Tubby Hayes was born in London January 1935 and passed away in June 1973. In the early 1950s he started to play in the Kenny Baker Sextet and played his tenor saxophone in the orchestras of Bert Ambrose, Teddy Brown, Vic Lewis and Roy Fox. In 1955 he founded his own octet. In 1957 he became a member and co-leader of the Ronnie Scott Quintet, named The Jazz Couriers. During the early 1960 Tubby Hayes went to the States for a tour and played with artists like Clark Terry, Horace Parlan, Roland Kirk, James Moody and Louis Hayes to name some. In London he had formed his own big band and with that orchestra he was to be seen in numerous TV programs like Jazz 625. Enjoy the fragments, recorded on the 5th of May 1964.
OSCAR ALEMÁN: During his stay in Europe, Oscar Alemán was a regular member of Josephine Baker's orchestra on and off throughout the 1930s - on her tours he even was musical director of the 16 piece band, The Baker Boys. When not performing with Baker, Alemán had a second career as a freelance musician, like the Jean, Jac & Jo vocal trio, also members of the Josephine Baker organisation) besides leading his own bands in Paris and taking part in gigs and recording sessions by others as well. Around 1935 Alemán had the guitar chair for some time in the orchestra led by the American entertainer and bandleader, Freddy Taylor.
In his contribution Freddy Taylor March 1935 Sessions Joergen Larsen discusses the Freddy Taylor recordings, which have survived, including some rare test recordings and air shots. Aleman or not Aleman - that's the question ... You can contact Joergen at: keepswinging@live.nl

Ronnie Scott en Tubby Hayes.
De Jazz 625 programma met Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Dizzy Gillespie, Ben Webster, Thelonious Monk en Erroll Garner zijn bekend, maar dat geldt niet voor de programma's met Engelse talent. Vandaag het Tubby Hayes Quintet, niet de minste, overigens...........
Tubby Hayes werd geboren in London in januari 1935 en overleed in juni 1973. Begin jaren vijftig speelde hij in het Kenny Baker Sextet en tenorsax in de orkesten van Bert Ambrose, Teddy Brown, Vic Lewis en Roy Fox. In 1955 richtte hij zijn eigen octet op. Hij werd lid en co-leider van het Ronnie Scott Quintet, genaamd The Jazz Couriers. Tijdens tournees begin jaren zestig reisde hij door de Verenigde Staten en speelde met artiesten als Clark Terry, Horace Parlan, Roland Kirk, James Moody en Louis Hayes om er een paar te noemen. Terug in London formeerde hij zijn eigen orkest en daarmee was hij regelmatig te zien en te horen op de Engelse radio en TV, zoals op de fragmenten van vandaag voor Jazz 625. Genieten dus met de twee selecties, opgenomen op 5 mei 1964.
OSCAR ALEMAN: Tijdens zijn verblijf in Europa tijdens de jaren dertig van de vorige eeuw maakte Oscar Alemán regelmatige deel uit van het Josephine Baker orkest en hij bracht het zelfs tot muzikaal leider van het uit zestien man bestaande orkest, de Baker Boys. Als hij niet met Josephine optrad, speelde hij als freelancer met andere muzikanten, zoals bijvoorbeeld het zangduo Jean, Jac & Jo ( met de Nederlander Henry Driessen), ook een onderdeel van de Josephine Baker revue. Verder speelde hij mee in optredens in en rond Parijs en nam deel aan optredens met anderen. Rond 1935 speelde Oscar Aleman een paar keer gitaar in het orkest van de Amerikaanse entertainer en orkestleider Freddy Taylor.
In zijn bijdrage Freddy Taylor March 1935 Sessions bespreekt Joergen Larsen (in het Engels) deze Freddy Taylor opnamen, die bewaard gebleven zijn, inclusief een aantal zeldzame testopnamen en airshots ....... Aleman or not Aleman - that's the question. Je kunt Joergen bereiken via keepswinging@live.nl
