The Jazz Couriers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jazz Couriers were a British jazz quintet formed in April 1957 and which disbanded in August 1959.
The quintet, which was co-led by tenor saxophonists Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott, also comprised Terry Shannon on piano, Phil Bates on bass and Bill Eyden on drums. Their first recording also included two tracks with Jimmy Deuchar on trumpet.
The band debuted at the new Flamingo Club in Wardour Street, Soho and disbanded in August 1959, shortly before Scott opened his own club, Ronnie Scott's, just around the corner in Gerrard Street, in October that year.
They recorded four albums and appeared on some BBC radio broadcasts.
