Returning to London at the end of 1963, Pyne worked in the 1960s with
Roland Kirk, Lee Konitz, Hank Mobley, and Joe Williams. In the 1970s he worked with Hayes as well as with Ronnie Scott, Humphrey Lyttelton, John Eardley and Cecil Payne. In the 1980s Pyne's associations included Georgie Fame, Adelaide Hall, Keith Smith and Charlie Watts.[1]
