Edward Brian "Tubby" Hayes (30 January 1935[1] – 8 June 1973)[2] was a British jazz multi-instrumentalist, best known for his virtuosic musicianship on tenor saxophone and for performing in jazz groups with fellow sax player Ronnie Scott and trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar.[3] He is widely considered to be one of the finest jazz saxophonists to have emerged from Britain.[4][5][6]
