Tubby Hayes may be gone, but his influence looms large in the jazz world. His latest posthumous release, "The Long Shadow Of The Little Giant," is a delightful throwback to the golden age of British jazz. From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, you're transported back to a smoky jazz club in 1960s London. Hayes' saxophone skills are on full display, with every note dripping with emotion and skill. The way he effortlessly weaves in and out of complex melodies is a sight (or rather, a sound) to behold. The album is a mix of original compositions and classic jazz standards, all given the unmistakable Tubby Hayes treatment. Tracks like "Mode For Joe" and "Wondering" showcase Hayes' versatility as a musician, while his take on "I See Your Face Before Me" is a masterclass in emotional storytelling through music. The backing band on this record is top-notch as well, with each musician bringing their A-game to every track. The chemistry between the players is palpable, creating a seamless flow that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Overall, "The Long Shadow Of The Little Giant" is a fitting tribute to a jazz legend. It may not bring anything particularly groundbreaking to the table, but it doesn't need to. Sometimes, all you need is some good old-fashioned jazz to lift your spirits and transport you to another time and place. And this album does just that. Highly recommended for jazz aficionados and newcomers alike. Sit back, relax, and let Tubby Hayes work his magic.
