The concert was a sensational sold-out success, with the audience enthusiastically in awe, not only of the remarkable and innovative musicianship of Simon and his energetically talented band of British jazz greats, but also discovering the musical genius of the late Tubby Hayes’ superb jazz writing. So there was no hesitation for JBGB Events to extend the return invitation for this second London concert by the Simon Spillett Big Band.

This Sunday lunchtime concert at Dean Street by the Simon Spillett Big Band, playing the music of Tubby Hayes, is that rare opportunity to hear the music of a jazz genius, performed by a band full of contemporary geniuses.
