SDP Jazz Note: I like Ike Quebec

I spent the last several days discussing bioethics in New Orleans. That, and eating crawfish etouffee. I managed to catch some 'Nawlins style jazz at a small club that I won't name because it was hard enough to get a...

Wayne Shorter: The Soothsayer

A good month for tenor saxophone connoisseurs, April 2008, with a second Rudy Van Gelder re-master released alongside Ike Quebec's signature Blue and Sentimental (Blue Note, 2008). The Soothsayer may be comparably less of a benchmark in Wayne Shorter's discography, and remains to some extent overshadowed by its close contemporary Speak No Evil (Blue Note, 1964), but it's a solid and enduring album--despite...

Ike Quebec: Blue and Sentimental

Ill health and "personal problems" prevented Ike Quebec (1918-63) from becoming the star he could otherwise have been. The tenor saxophonist straddled 1940s swing-to-bop with as much style as his near contemporary, Dexter Gordon. His warm, weighty, approximately out-of-Coleman Hawkins playing was tailor-made for the hard bop era which followed--but he spent most of the 1950s silent, with a gorilla...

Ike Quebec - Blue & Sentimental

Blue & Sentimental *****Blue Note Records: RVG Edition 0946 39318421, £7.99After spending much of the Fifties out of the public eye, the popular Forties tenor saxophonist, Ike Quebec, made a terrific, but all too brief, comeback in 1959 (he died in 1963) with a series of Blue Note releases. This album, recorded in 1961 and augmented here by a couple of bonus tracks, is a classic – a perfect showcase...

Blue Note Meets Andy Warhol

The label began life in 1939, founded by two men in their early thirties, both born in Germany, Alfred Lion who had moved to New York City in 1938 and Francis Wolff who made the move as World War 2 began. The name derives from the emblematic ‘blue note’ of jazz and the blues. The first Blue Note recording session, was supervised by Lion, was at WMGM Studio in New York City on Friday 6th January 1939...

Albums of the year: Jazz

While jazz singers who aren't really jazz at all continued to prosper, Chicago vocalist Kurt Elling's magisterial new album Nightmoves proved that genuine creativity could co-exist within a smoochy, Sinatra-esque soundtrack to flatter sex and soft furnishings. The album's closing version of Ellington's "I Like the Sunrise" remains the most moving performance of the year.

Count ‘Em

The solstice is approaching, so it's time to count ‘em. Do you remember how it felt the first time you: implemented a for loop to find the length of a string, in assembly, and finally understood how computers actually worked? read Software Tools in Pascal, and discovered that there was more to programming than writing legal code? realized [...]

Ike Quebec -- Bossa Nova Soul Samba

This is quite a painful disc to listen to. Not because of the music--which is beautiful--but because of the events surrounding it. Recorded in October 1962, it was to be tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec's final album. Less than four months later he died of lung cancer. This fact rather sticks in the mind like a house guest who has outstayed his or her welcome...

We get requests... Ike Quebec... plus John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter...

A quick post - Zao (and here ) sent me a request for a re-up of Ike Quebec's 'Blue and Sentimental.' So here it is... Plus another track from the same 1961 album, 'That old black magic.' He does so well – some straight-up tenor juju here. Ike Quebec is a very appealing old school swinger – backed by crisp guitar from Grant Green and the old Miles bass and drum team of Philly Joe and Paul Chambers,...

Ike Quebec... Chico Hamilton... George Russell... Albert Ayler... Jackie McLean...

Something to ease into the day with as the monsoon returns to God's Little Acre – Ike Quebec from 1961, a stone classic session. This is 'Blue and Sentimental.' Led in by Grant Green's chording, a big-hearted tenor saxophone slow-dance through the old Basie tune. Quebec was not a big name as such, but a very appealing and thoughtful player with buckets of soul and a strong melodic conception. Green...
