Dave Hayes

Avid Jazz here presents three classic Tubby Hayes albums “The Jazz Couriers - In Concert”, “The Couriers Of Jazz”, “Tubby’s Groove” plus four tracks from “Pub Crawling with Jimmy Deuchar”.
Hailed as “England’s greatest jazz combo”, Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes formed the Couriers to bring their message to the world that British jazz was alive and kicking! Joined by Terry Shannon on piano, Phil Bates on bass and Bill Eyden on drums we find them on a double bill with Dave Brubeck live at the Dominion Theatre in early February 1958. Wearing their influences on their sleeves, Brubeck was heard to declare “They sound more like an American band than we do”. Moving ahead to November 1958 and the Couriers had been joined by Jeff Clyne on bass for a recording in London which clearly shows how British jazz was beginning to take it to their American cousins…

"Black Moses" is the fifth studio album by American soul musician Isaac Hayes. It is a double album released on Stax Records' Enterprise label in 1971. The follow-up to Hayes' successful soundtrack for Shaft (also a double album), Black Moses features Hayes' version of The Jackson 5's hit single "Never Can Say Goodbye". Hayes' version became a hit in its own right, peaking at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Live At The Sahara Tahoe" is the first live album by American soul musician Isaac Hayes. The album, recorded live at the Sahara Hotel & Casino in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, was released in 1973, by Stax Records' Enterprise imprint.
