Ike Quebec – Complete 45 Sessions (3-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Quebec's story is one of jazz's most compelling second acts. After years away from recording, he returned to Blue Note in the late 1950s not with a full LP but with jukebox 45s, a format that suited his warm, unhurried tenor perfectly and quietly rebuilt his reputation among listeners who caught his sides between tracks on the bar room box. He died in 1963, making this body of work his final flourishing.
Triple vinyl LP pressing. The Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions of Ike Quebec collects a phenomenal body of work produced between 1959-62 by a key player in the Blue Note Story. The saxophonist had recorded for Blue Note and served as a talent scout in the 1940s before personal problems forced him off the scene. Alfred Lion began to reintroduce Quebec's music to jazz fans in 1959 with a series of 45 jukebox singles that were well received and revealed a formidable stylist very much at the top of his game with a full-throated, yet relaxed sound ideally suited to a range of material from ballads to blues. This Blue Note Tone Poet Edition is produced by Joe Harley in all-analog from Rudy Van Gelder's original master tapes.
