Return Visit

Return Visit! (issued as Tubby's Back In Town by Smash in the US) is an album by British jazz saxophonist Tubby Hayes, recorded in June 1962 and released on Fontana Records in 1963. Produced by Quincy Jones and featuring the "All Stars" of Roland Kirk, James Moody, Walter Bishop, Jr., Sam Jones, and Louis Hayes, the session is notable for being Hayes's second to be recorded in the United States, following Tubbs in N.Y. in 1962. The line-up unusually includes three tenor saxophonists, all of whom double on other instruments. Unlike Tubbs in N.Y., the session for Return Visit! was an impromptu one, with the "All Stars" assembling at the studio immediately prior to recording. Walter Bishop Jr. was the only player to have performed with Hayes prior to the recording date, and both Sam Jones and Louis Hayes had been performing as members of the Cannonball Adderley Sextet until late the night prior. With the exception of two Roland Kirk compositions, all other tracks on the album are reinterpretations of popular jazz standards, including one from Sonny Stitt. James Moody was under contract to Argo at the time of recording and so was listed on the release under the pseudonym "Jimmy Gloomy".
