Ike Quebec • The Art Of Ike Quebec

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Tenor-saxophonist Ike Quebec recorded six albums for Blue Note during his last period before passing away in Jan. 1963. This single CD has at least one selection from each of the records (11 in all) that, when taken as a whole, gives one a good idea as to how strong Quebec was still sounding. Although his fans will want to get the individual records (four of the six are currently available on CD's), this is an excellent sampler. Among the other players are organist Freddie Roach, guitarists Grant Green and Kenny Burrell, pianist Sonny Clark, drummer Art Blakey and Billy Higgins, trombonist Bennie Green and tenor great Stanley Turrentine.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El tenor-saxofonista Ike Quebec grabó seis álbumes para Blue Note durante su última etapa antes de fallecer en enero de 1963. Este único CD contiene al menos una selección de cada uno de los discos (11 en total) que, tomados en su conjunto, dan una buena idea de la fuerza con la que Quebec seguía sonando. Aunque sus fans querrán conseguir los discos individuales (cuatro de los seis están disponibles actualmente en CD), éste es un excelente muestrario. Entre los demás músicos figuran el organista Freddie Roach, los guitarristas Grant Green y Kenny Burrell, el pianista Sonny Clark, los baterías Art Blakey y Billy Higgins, el trombonista Bennie Green y el gran tenor Stanley Turrentine.
