"Grits, Beans and Greens captures Tubby's astonishing fluency as a tenor-sax improviser, and canny craftsmanship as a composer. Rugged modal themes unfold over hurtling bass-walks (from the excellent Ron Mathewson) that suggest Coltrane’s Impressions or Giant Steps but with chirpy Latin-ballroom countermelodies. There are fast blues, and smoky ballads..." This 1969 recording was lost in the vaults until 2019 when it was finally found and given this rather spiffy release with extensive liner notes by Tubbs' expert Simon Spillett.
