Product Information

In this book, award-winning saxophonist and writer Simon Spillett, widely regarded as the world’s leading authority on Hayes and his work, painstakingly outlines a career which alternated professional success and personal downfall.

Using credible eye-witness recollection, drawn from conversations with Hayes’ family, partners, friends and musical colleagues, unique access to Hayes own tape, photographic and personal archives, and extensive contemporary research material, Spillett has reconstructed the trajectory of his subject’s life both candidly and respectfully. Length: 388 pages.

Jazzwise Review:

"Eloquently and carefully written, and an essential read not only for Hayes fans but for anyone who wants a sharp, insightful picture of British modern jazz."
