Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

This is a lovely album from a musician who is hardly a household name, but one who deserves some exploration by the listener. Quebec had a lovely deep bluesy sound to his tenor saxophone and made six very good albums for Blue Note in the early 1960s. In the main he avoided the faster numbers and concentrated on the blues and ballads, occasionally wandering into mid-tempo territory. This is true of Blue and Sentimental, which is undoubtedly his best album, and has a gorgeous soulful ballad for a title tune. On most of the tracks the Miles Davis rhythm section of Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Jo Jones on drums join him, with Grant Green on guitar. Apart from Quebec's heartfelt tone the album is notable for Green's blues playing, which will be a pleasant surprise for those who only know him for his funky riffs. An album, which is very good as, opposed to classic, but still, there are many that would love to boast of an album, which reached that level. --Phil Brett

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent album - Quebec deserves more credit 31 Dec 2004
By Matt Ward
Format:Audio CD
I totally agree with the amazon reviewer, this a superb album by the late and more importantly, great tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec. Blue and Sentimental possess an innovative and compelling mixture of velvety smooth ballads and swinging hard-bop beats mastered superbly by the great drummer Philly Joe Jones. To add an interesting touch Blue Note regular Grant Green was also summoned for this unmissable session, Pianist Wynton Kelly [uts the icing on the cake for a overall brilliant album.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Handfull of Heartbreak 26 Jan 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
As sweet and lovely a balladeer as Willis Jackson, Ben Webster, or Coleman Hawkins, among others, Ike Quebec is not well known and that is a grave injustice to his memory. But to hear Ike Quebec play a ballad is to experience something almost beyond description. If you could hear honey running down a hot ceramic plate in July, that would be the sound of Ike Quebec. For years I searched for more albums by Quebec only to learn that his meager output was due to the fact that he died in 1963. Any of Quebec's ballad-play will break your heart or, if you are one of the hardhearted, at least bring tears to your eyes. Buy this album and his "It Might As Well Be Spring" for starters and then experience the frustration of finding that he made only a handfull of albums as a lead artist before he died. If the music doesn't break your heart, the knowledge that there was so little of it will. Just turn down the lights, close your eyes, and listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Convert ! 15 Dec 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is the type of album that converts people to jazz ! I know it never harmed me ! Ike Quebec is certainly not the best known jazz tenor player, but his sound is so uniquely enchanting, one wonders why he isn't a lot better known than he is. Does the term "boudoir-sound" mean anything to you ? If it does, you'll know what kind of sounds you can expect on this brilliant CD. Quebec blows the blues so smoothly, your ears turn to velvet ! The man who introduced the likes of T.S. Monk and Bud Powell to the people at Blue Note Records unfortunately didn't record as much as he perhaps should have, but every one of his recordings is a treat. If you've never heard Quebec before, start with this CD. If this one doesn't convert you, thou shallt wallow in ignorance for all eternity ! Convert !

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cult Classic 22 Jan 2001
By "ampar" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Ike's tone, breathy yet virile, is set against the unusually spare backing of guitar, bass and drums, and to stunning effect. The recording quality is spectacular (as it was on vinyl), and if you close your eyes the musicians are in the room with you. Grant Green's guitar work is relaxed, perfectly judged, and never competes for space.

I much prefer this line-up to the organ-based arrangements of some of his other recordings. Apparently his story is one tragically familiar in jazz, dying young and leaving too little. In one sense this album defines saxophone jazz, in another it transcends genre. It's purely *music*, lyrical, sad, and occasionally full of lively spirit. It's been a personal favourite of mine for many years, and I frequently find myself humming his solos, and hearing that unique tone in my head. In fact, I'm going to stop writing this and listen to it again. This is music that will last you your lifetime.

Thanks, Ike, wherever you are.
