Blue and Sentimental: Rudy Van Gelder Remaster

CD-Charts > Music > Jump Blues
by: Ike Quebec

Release Date March 17, 2008
Ike Quebec sits in jazz heaven rightly alongside Webster and Hawkins and Young as great saxophonists who paint pictures in the imagination as their music floats round the room.

Blue and Sentimental is perhaps his masterpiece featuring Paul Chambers on Bass, Philly Joe Jones on drums and Grant Green on guitar and the spaces sing as sweetly as the music.

Quebec is an unsung hero of Blue Note, first recording with them in 1944 he acted amongst many other things as a talent scout introducing countless up and coming names to Blue Note - including Dexter Gordon.

This album is one of the great jazz albums of all time and any collection missing it has a serious space - easily remedied by purchasing this stunning RVG ... Read More:

Bossa Nova Soul Samba: Rudy Van Gelder Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Jump Blues
by: Ike Quebec

Release Date September 10, 2007
Saxophonist Ike Quebec weaves a spell of beauty alongside guitarist Kenny Burrell, Percussionist Willie Bobo and Garvin Masseaux on Chekere.

Recorded in 1962 this classic selection of laid back bossa and samba proved to be an epitaph for Quebec who died shortly after the recording. He plays with such warmth and sensitivity that perhaps he knew this was the culmination of his life in jazz.

It is a beautiful album which adds 3 tracks to the original release of 9 laid back classics with the rhythm section giving a masterclass in understated but solid suport.

For fans of Jazz or Latin or Brazil this is a must.
