Hayes was born and brought up in Raynes Park, London. His father was a BBC studio violinist, and gave him violin lessons from an early age. Hayes showed talent from the beginning; by the age of ten he was playing the piano, and while he was still eleven he started on the tenor sax.
One often-repeated story about his early career, while he was still at school, was told by Ronnie Scott. Scott was playing at a club near Kingston, and was asked if he minded if a local player sat in: "This little boy came up, not much bigger than his tenor sax. Rather patronisingly I suggested a number and off he went. He scared me to death."
After a period spent playing with various semi-professional bands round London, Hayes left school and started playing professionally at the age of fifteen.
In 1951, when he was sixteen, Hayes joined Kenny Baker's sextet, later playing for big-band leaders such as Ambrose, Terry Brown, Tito Burns, Roy Fox, Vic Lewis, and Jack Parnell. In 1955 he formed his own octet, with which he toured the U.K. for a year and a half. Hayes took up flute and vibes, but it was a tenor-sax player that he made and retained his reputation.
From 1957 to 1959 he joined Ronnie Scott to co-lead the quintet, the Jazz Couriers, after which Hayes reformed his quartet, and toured Germany with Kurt Edelhagen. Then in 1961 he was invited to play at the Half Note in New York (in exchange Zoot Sims went to Ronnie Scott's). That led to a recording (Tubbs in New York) with Clark Terry, Eddie Costa, and Horace Parlan, and in 1962 he returned for another visit, this time recording Return Visit with James Moody, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Walter Bishop Jr, Sam Jones, and Louis Hayes. He played at the Half Moon again in 1964, and at the Boston Jazz Workshop the same year, and at Shelly Manne's Manne-Hole in 1965.
Back in London, Hayes formed his own big band, working in television, film, and radio, and even having his own television series (1961–1962, and 1963). He stood in for Paul Gonsalves in February 1964 (with whom he also recorded twice in 1965 (Just Friends and Change of Setting) when the Duke Ellington orchestra played at the Royal Festival Hall, and appeared in a number of films, including All Night Long (1961) with Charles Mingus and Dave Brubeck, and (with his quintet) in The Beauty Jungle (1964) and Dr Terror's House of Horrors (1965). He also played at a wide range of jazz festivals, including Antibes, Lugano, Vienna, and Berlin.
Despite all this, regular work was hard to come by, especially for his big band; first rock and roll and then The Beatles pushed most jazz out of 1960's Britain, and what jazz there was, was dominated by trad. Matters were made worse for Hayes by his development of a drugs habit, which badly affected his health. In the late 1960s he underwent open-heart surgery; he was able to start performing again in 1971 (though he had more heart surgery that same year), and in 1972 toured Norway and Sweden. In 1973 he died during another heart operation, at the age of thirty-eight.
The Song Is You
Tubby Hayes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A beautiful theme of every
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I hear music when I touch your hand,
A beautiful melody
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I let you know the song
My heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true
The song is you.
