‘Salute to the Jazz Couriers’
An exciting and heartfelt homage by two of the top UK jazz authorities to the legendary British two-tenor quintet of the 1950s co-led by Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes. You can expect plenty of up tempo tenor jousting, bell notes bouncing from wall to wall and cascades of bebop quavers coruscating the continuum, as award winning repertory bandleader Peter Long and custodian of the Hayes legacy Simon Spillett go head to head over the old Couriers classics, with driving virtuosic rhythmic support.
Expect such favourites as the original arrangements of Cheek To Cheek, Love Walked In and The Serpent, as well as some of Tubbys later standards, all linked together with stories and comments from the two front men.
