TUBBY HAYES: EDWARD BRIAN “TUBBY” HAYES (1935-1973) was an English jazz multi-instrumental, best knows for his tenor saxophone playing in groups with fellow sax player Ronnie Scott. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest British Jazz instrumentalists. From 1957 to 1959 he joined Ronnie Scott in co-leading a quintet, The Jazz Cousiers, perhaps the most fondly remembered of British Modern Jazz groups.
