Jazz in Britain announce the forthcoming release of a stunning previously unissued live recording of the legendary saxophonist Tubby Hayes and his quintet live at the Antibes Jazz Festival in July 1962. Hayes' band including trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar, pianist Gordon Beck, bassist Freddy Logan and drummer Allan Ganley were the UK's representative on a starry festival bill also featuring US stars Jimmy Smith, Dizzy Gillespie and Fats Domino, drawing rave press reviews and the admiration of a new continental audience.

Recently unearthed radio broadcast tapes in pin sharp audio quality reveal a group hitting its collaborative stride, tackling Hayes' helter skelter hard bop themes and coolly melodic adaptations of Great American Songbook standards with equal relish. Indeed, six months after the quintet's formation and two months on from the taping of their classic Fontana albums 'Late Spot at Scott's' and 'Down In The Village' this newly discovered concert recording catches the band close to its first creative peak.
