CELEBRATING TUBBY HAYES: SIMON SPILLETT QUARTET
October 24 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
£15
As part of our weekend celebrating the talents of the late, great Tubby Hayes, we’ve teamed up with Firstsite art gallery who, prior to the Simon Spillett Quartet’s concert, will be screening Tubby Hayes: A Man In A Hurry, on Saturday evening, October 23rd. (Tickets on sale mid-August.)
This documentary looks at Tubby’s life, his influence on fellow musicians, the UK jazz music scene of the mid-50s to mid-60s, and music in general. Simon Spillett will give a brief introduction, followed afterwards by a Q&A session.
Tubby was a true giant of British jazz and one of the most influential players of his generation. Sadly, at aged just 38, he was taken from us way too early. Thankfully, he leaves a rich legacy via his recordings and, in Simon, has someone considered by many to be his natural heir. Backed by a stellar rhythm section, this is a musician who delivers the goods every time – and then some.
