Although this band of top-notchers are, in a sense, recreating the music of, arguably, the UK's greatest ever jazz musician, Tubby Hayes, Spillett hasn't rehashed numbers from Tubby's own big band albums such as Tubb's Tours and 100% Proof but, after much research, concentrated on charts that were only played on TV and BBC radio broadcasts which were never released commercially and only heard on bootleg tapes ("Psst wanna buy a rare Tubby Hayes tape? Only one in in existence yours for a monkey").
