Phil said he was inspired to write Underdub after listening to Charlie Parker. It was first played by Hatfield & The North on the French tour they did right after recording it, in February 1975. It appears on track 8 of Hatfield’s record The Rotters Club where you can hear the great Jimmy Hastings on flute. National Health’s repetoire also occasionally included the piece, which was played at the Festival du Château , in Sierck-les-Bains,France in June 1977 and, with Jimmy Hastings guesting on both occasions, The Queen Elizabeth Hall, London in July, the Roundhouse, London for Camden Jazz week in November.
Laurie Lewis took this wonderful photograph of Hatfield & The North in a London hotel. Aymeric’s blog has the story behind the photo shoot and information on the album’s sleeve.
