IKE QUEBEC "BLUE & SENTIMENTAL"
2009 ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS "THE BLUE NOTE REISSUES", 2LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, CATALOG NUMBER AP-84098, #558 OF A SOLD-OUT LIMITED EDITION OF 2,500 COPIES, RECORDED BY RUDY VAN GELDER AND MASTERED BY KEVIN GRAY AND STEVE HOFFMAN USING THE ORIGINAL ANALOG BLUE NOTE MASTER TAPES, PRESSED BY RTI, CAMARILLO, CA.
"IKE QUEBEC'S TIMELESS, BIG-TONED TENOR WAS A FREQUENT VISITOR TO RUDY VAN GELDER'S STUDIO IN THE EARLY SIXTIES. BUT THIS RECORDING FROM DECEMBER 1961 WITH SPARE, SOULFUL BACKING FROM GRANT GREEN, PAUL CHAMBERS AND PHILLY JOE JONES IS HIS MASTERPIECE. THE LEANER SETTING WORKS PERFECTLY, EVOKING AN AURA OF RELAXATION AND MONUMENTALITY, WITH THE DEEPEST BLUE OF ACCENTS."
"IKE QUEBEC WAS PERHAPS THE LEAST LIKELY MUSICIAN TO BE LEADING ALBUMS FOR BLUE NOTE IN THE EARLY 1960'S FOR HE WAS A BIG-TONED SWING STYLIST RATHER THAN A HARD BOP OR SOUL JAZZ PLAYER. BUT QUEBEC, A SUPERB MUSICIAN WHO WAS MAKING A MAJOR COMEBACK, WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FIGURES IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF BLUE NOTE. HE WAS THE ONE WHO INTRODUCED ALFRED LION TO BEPOP IN THE MID-1940'S (INCLUDING THELONIOUS MONK AND BUD POWELL) WHICH ENTIRELY CHANGED THE COURSE OF BLUE NOTE. QUEBEC, WHO GAINED FAME AS A MEMBER OF THE CAB CALLOWAY ORCHESTRA, WAS A MEMBER OF THE BLUE NOTE FAMILY BACK IN THE MID-1940'S, HAVING A HIT WITH HIS RECORDING OF "BLUE HARLEM."
"AFTER QUEBEC INTRODUCED ALFRED LION TO THE NEW MUSIC, HE WORKED AS AN A&R MAN FOR BLUE NOTE. INACTIVE DURING MUCH OF THE 1950'S, QUEBEC EMERGED IN 1960 IN PRIME FORM, RECORDING SEVERAL GEMS FOR BLUE NOTE INCLUDING "BLUE & SENTIMENTAL", HIS DEFINITIVE ALBUM. EQUALLY SKILLED ON INTIMATE BALLADS AND UPTEMPO ROMPS, QUEBEC DISPLAYS HIS MASTERY OF THE TENOR AND HIS HUGE SOUND THROUGHOUT THIS SET. JOINED BE A PIANOLESS QUARTET THAT INCLUDES GRANT GREEN, QUEBEC MAKES EVERY BREATH AND SECOND COUNT, PLAYING SEDUCTIVE LINES ON THE BALLADS AND SWINGING FORCEFULLY ON THE HOTTER NUMBERS. HE ONLY LIVED UNTIL 1963 (PASSING AWAY WHEN HE WAS JUST 44), BUT, AS "BLUE & SENTIMENTAL" SHOWS, IKE QUEBEC SAVED THE VERY BEST FOR HIS LATER PERIOD, CREATING A MASTERPIECE."
