In April1957 the formidable British tenor men Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott teamed up toform a group which they called “The Jazz Couriers.” During their more than twoand a half years together, the Couriers developed into an extremely close-knitunit, widely acclaimed throughout Britain and the rest of Europe.Tubby Hayes (1935-1973) was born in London, the son of a violinist who startedhim on that instrument. Switching to tenor at 12, he began playing in jazzclubs when he was 14, and at 16 launched into four years with various namebands. He doubled on vibes, baritone and flute and acknowledged Sonny Rollinsand Johnny Griffin as major influences.Ronnie Scott (1927-1996), one of the early leaders of the modern jazz movementin England, was also a Londoner with a big-band background. His main influenceswere Charlie Ventura, Charlie Parker, Stan Getz, Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins.Crisp, accurate, inventive and irresistibly swinging, “The Jazz Couriers” notonly boasted of two of the top solo horn players in Europe in Scott and Hayes,it also had the advantage of having a superb rhythm section in which thecontribution of master pianist, Terry Shannon, was Mirage (Hayes) 5:25
