SOW 036LP

Reissue, originally released in 1962. Bossa Nova Soul Samba came as Ike Quebec's best contribution to the fruitful marriage between jazz and Brazilian music. Recorded in 1962 and released on Blue Note in the same year, this was Quebec's final recording before his death in January 1963. A beautiful studio session dominated by Quebec's tenor sax warm tone and the light and gentle groove provided by Kenny Burrell (guitar), Wendell Marshall (bass), Willie Bobo (drums) and Garvin Masseaux (chekere). Clear vinyl.

Reissue, recorded in 1961 and released on Blue Note in 1964. It May As Well Be Spring is often considered as an ideal companion to Ike Quebec's famous Heavy Soul (SOW 009LP). Here, the saxophone player displays a relaxed set of standards, including classic songs from the American repertoire such as "Willow Weep For Me", "Lover Man", and "Ol Man River". Perfect material to express his warm, lyrical tenor sax voice while Freddie Roach on organ, Milt Hinton on bass, and Al Harewood on drums perform with their usual high sense of interaction. Clear vinyl.

Clear vinyl; edition of 300.

Down At Dawn present a reissue of Ike Quebec's Blue & Sentimental, originally released in 1962. This is without doubt Ike Quebec's Blue Note masterpiece. The result of a 1961 recording date featuring a superb quartet including guitarist Grant Green, bass man Paul Chambers, and master drummer Philly Joe Jones. Mood and atmosphere seem to be the key words for the most of Quebec's music, while Blue & Sentimental, as the title suggests, speak volumes about the smoky late-night feeling of the whole album. The sensuous voice of Quebec's tenor sax shine through a dense sequence of blues numbers and soulful ballads.
