Chubby Hayes

[bertrand]

In a video, Butch Warren plays a piece which he identifies after as 'Big Noise From Winnetka' and credits to a bass player named Chubby Hayes. I can't find anything on such a person, and in any case he did not write the tune.

Any idea what Butch was thinking of? I'm sure he's referring to something, I just don't know what.

Thanks,

Bertrand.

Chubby Jackson comes to mind.

Big Noise was a Bob Haggart - Ray Baduoc specialty. I wonder if Butch saw Chubby perform it sometime. I also wonder if Chubby ever did it on his tv show.

Maybe if you put Chubby Jackson, Bob Haggart, Gabby Hayes, and Two-Ton Baker in a Cusinart?

In fact, thinking of Jackson, Gabby Hayes, and Baker, they were all -- at one time or another and in one way or another -- fixtures on daytime television in the 1950s, when the young Warren probably was a TV viewer. Perhaps that's the clue? I certainly can imagine that on Jackson's show, in between cartoons and clowning, he might have picked up the bass and played "Big Noise." It is a fun number.

I was thinking Jackson as well, and Butch probably did see him on TV. Also, his father had a band so maybe that was a number they did.

Can't find any obvious evidence of Jackson playing this tune, but I really don't know his discography.

Chubby Jackson + Tubby Hayes.

[clifford_thornton]

haha my thought exactly.

[bertrand]

We asked Butch, and he said there's a Tubby Hayes AND a Chubby Hayes.

I'll try to ask him again after the talk on Wednesday.

Didn't he play with Bonnie Scott?

Don't you mean Honky Scott-Heron?

[BillF]

No. I only listen to Bonnie Scott, Chubby Hayes and Honk Mostly.
