Has Tubby Hayes

[The Rep]

Can anyone tell me if Tubby Hayes has recorded "Suddenly Last Tuesday" written by Jimmy Deuchar? if so on which album.

Thanks in advance.

There does not seem to be any appearance of this on record albums.

But there is this video (from BBC Jazz 625)

Doesn't seem to be a recording other than the video. IAJRC issued a couple of tracks from that show on one of their own items.

Thank you, I had a request to play the track on my show for UK Jazz Radio and could not find it anywhere. Now I know why, thanks again.

Cheers Ray.

Just checked the Barbara Schwarz discography. Interestingly, the tune was recorded and broadcast on two occasions by the BBC. The first time was a quintet-only session recorded in March 1964 for Jazz 625 with guest vocalist Betty Bennett on a couple of tracks (not this one). The big band session which has the clip was broadcast by Jazz 625 in 1965. Both recordings done at the Marquee Club, Wardour St.

No listing in this discography of any studio recordings of the tune in question.

Are these BBC broadcasts unreleased?

And have anyone heard this pretty recent release on Gearbox Records? Seems like a great one:

I have not heard that one but I bought a Joe HarriottQuintet on the same label. This album is also called Jazz For Moderns. Although it is a full size 12 inch album it is a 45 rpm format. There are four tracks on it, two Dizzy Reece compositions " Shepherds Serenade and Variations On Monk" and two free form tracks by Joe Harriott "Pictures and Tonal". It is great to hear the quintet, Joe on alto, Shake Keane on flugelhorn, Pat Smythe piano, the wonderful Coleridge Goode on bass and Bobby Orr on drums. Brings back good memories. Its from a BBC session so as you would expect good recording and on the Gearbox label. Its from 1962 but the whole album is only 15 minutes long and cost me £20.00. So you have to be a fan but I am glad I bought it.

Cheers Ray.
