Featuring a starry line-up of UK jazz greats under the direction of award-winning tenorist Simon Spillett
"[This] stupendous band played a blinder with the standing-room-only audience loving every minute of it...the entire set won the Simon Spillett Big Band a prolonged standing ovation." Bebop Spoken Here
The Tubby Hayes Big Band of the 1960s raised the roof whenever and wherever it performedThis band follows in the same spirit, creating an intoxicating atmosphere in which its music communicates on every level, the entire package tied together with the leader's signature insightful witUtilising a repertoire of Hayes' own arrangements, many of which were never issued on record, as well as pieces by his contemporaries like trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar and pianist Harry South, the Simon Spillett Big Band has proved hugely popular since its London debut in 2021 at the 100 ClubOne writer dubbed them "the most hard-swinging big band in existence right now."
The Simon Spillett Big Band is a genuine all-star jazz orchestra, in this instance uniting some of the most accomplished soloists and bandleaders of todayThe all star line-up includes saxophonists Pete Long (leader of the Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra), Alex Garnett (Ronnie Scott's All-Stars) and Alan Barnes (winner of over thirty British jazz awards), a powerhouse rhythm section of pianist Rob Barron, bassist Alec Dankworth and drummer Pete Cater, all under the direction of award-winning tenorist and Tubby Hayes afficionado, Simon Spillett
Join us in celebrating the colossal musical genius of yesteryear, the late, great saxophonist Tubby Hayes, arguably the nation's best-loved jazz legend
