Description

Born to be Blue -  Grant Green, Ike Quebec & Sonny Clark on Blue Note Records... part of the Tone Poet Series. NEW and still sealed in the Tone Poet Poly Bag. 180G from 2019 in a Deluxe heavy Gatefold Tip-On Jacket.
Grant Green’s 1962 album Born To Be Blue featuring Ike Quebec is often thought of as the sister album to Quebec’s classic Blue and Sentimental, which was recorded for Blue Note just 3 months prior and also showcased the deep chemistry between the soulful guitarist and tenor saxophonist. Quebec’s deep, soul-drenched tenor sound matches beautifully with hard bop masters Green and pianist Sonny Clark, along with the tried-and-true rhythm section team of Sam Jones and Louis Hayes on this sublime set of standards.
