TUBBY HAYES | THE FONTANA RECORDINGS 1961–1969 featuring Tubby Hayes’ Fontana albums as a leader.
Mastering Notes: The recordings have been lovingly remastered at Gearbox Records’ Studios, London, directly from the original tapes, using a Studer C37 ¼-inch stereo tape machine. They were then equalised through an all-valve mastering desk built bespoke for Decca studios in the late 1950s, Vintage Lang Pultec EQ, Prism Maselec EQ and Telefunken U73b valve limiters from 1959. The LP lacquers were cut on a beautifully restored Haeco Scully Lathe from 1967 with Westrex (Western Electric) head and cutting amps: the same go-to lathe that Rudy Van Gelder used.

First, we experience the audience at Festival Hall in London on the evening of February 18, 1956, where we get to witness Tubby and his orchestra's set. Next we see Tubby with his quintet on "After Lights Out", where he is accompanied by Dickie Hawdon on trumpet, Harry South on piano, Pete Elderfield on bass and Bill Eyden on drums. Described as "England's greatest jazz combo", Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes formed the Couriers to show the world that British jazz is alive and well!
