Clancy Hayes was one of the finest vocalists of the Dixieland revival movement, much better than the typical musician who feels compelled to sing. He was a steady fixture in San Francisco from 1927 on, appearing regularly on the radio and in clubs. He hooked up with <a href="spotify:artist:3vCSKqDwmD2rf9v4t1hhwv">Lu Watters</a> in 1938, performing with <a href="spotify:artist:3vCSKqDwmD2rf9v4t1hhwv">Watters</a>' big band for two years, and then ten with the Yerba Buena Jazz Band, mostly as a rhythm banjoist and occasionally on drums. He gained his greatest fame while singing with <a href="spotify:artist:2O6C9HWikgZipdpXfU5fmC">Bob Scobey</a>'s group (1950-1959). In the 1960s, Hayes worked with <a href="spotify:artist:1lDvo0QzczLWwh8uXxhTeg">the Firehouse Five Plus Two</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4h2o94HOvvR0FMjxpfvsDM">Turk Murphy</a>, an early version of what would be <a href="spotify:artist:3od5Mdj7OgLATvDkDynmHH">the World's Greatest Jazz Band</a>, and with his own groups. Clancy Hayes recorded as a leader for Verve (1950), Audio Fidelity (1960), Good Time Jazz (1963), Delmark, ABC-Paramount, and Fat Cat Jazz (1969), and helped make songs such as "Oh by Jingo," "Ace in the Hole," and his own "Huggin' and A-Chalkin'" popular in the trad jazz world. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
