jazzhound Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 I was listening to some blues tunes on Born To Be Blue cd with Quebec. Its all there in one beautiful sound. What are your favorite sides by Quebec? Quote
jazzbo Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 I wouldn't have said this ten years ago but now. . . Soul Samba! Quote
jazzhound Posted June 8, 2004 Author Report Posted June 8, 2004 (edited) I wouldn't have said this ten years ago but now. . . Soul Samba! thanks for reminding me of that one. the lp is sitting on the shelf while I'm listening to cds! Edited June 8, 2004 by jazzhound Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 I have a huge "soft spot" for Ike. A favorite recording is Deep In A Dream on Sonny Clark's Leapin' and Lopin. Very interesting to compare this with Mobley's (and Clark's) performances 4 years earlier on Hank's Curtain Call date. Quote
Brandon Burke Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Those Jimmy Smith dates. .....with Jackie McLean. Quote
ralphie_boy Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 I have a soft-spot for It Might as well be Spring Quote
brownie Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 'Don't Take Your Love From Me' has been a favorite ballad by Ike Quebec. It's on the 'Blue And Sentimental' album. Quebec on slow ballads had few equals. Wish he and Dexter had recorded a duet album! Quote
White Lightning Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 I have a huge "soft spot" for Ike. A favorite recording is Deep In A Dream on Sonny Clark's Leapin' and Lopin. What Chuck said. Quote
Chrome Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 I only have one disc with IQ as a leader, but I can't imagine it gets too much better than "Easy Living" with Ike and: Sonny Clark - Piano Stanley Turrentine - Sax (Tenor) Art Blakey - Drums Bennie Green - Trombone Milt Hinton - Bass Quote
jlhoots Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Nobody has mentioned Heavy Soul, so I will. Quote
king ubu Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 I wouldn't have said this ten years ago but now. . . Soul Samba! I guess it's the same here (except for five instead of ten years). The 45 sessions are very nice, too! But then, all of his recordings I've heard (I never heard "Heavy Soul" and "Congo Lament") are at least enjoyable. brownie, dream on! That would have been beautiful! ubu Quote
GA Russell Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 I enjoy listening to the Blue Note 45s Mosaic when I'm in the mood for something different from my usual. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Grimes and Quebec, and Grimes and Hardy, now that's some good listening! Quote
Shawn Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 I agree with Lon! This is by far my favorite album of Ike's as a leader. As far as single performances, I'll take that breathtaking tenor/bass duet of Nature Boy from Heavy Soul...GORGEOUS! But, then again, I like ALL of Ike's stuff...easily one of my favorites and a player that I never tire of hearing. Quote
Morganized Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 I wouldn't have said this ten years ago but now. . . Soul Samba! I passed on this one several years ago only to regret it. I have not seen it again in decent shape. From what I have I would say: Quote
Guy Berger Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 I agree with Lon! This is by far my favorite album of Ike's as a leader. As far as single performances, I'll take that breathtaking tenor/bass duet of Nature Boy from Heavy Soul...GORGEOUS! But, then again, I like ALL of Ike's stuff...easily one of my favorites and a player that I never tire of hearing. I listened to this one for the first time in a while today. Very nice album. I need more Quebec in my collection, I suppose. Guy Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 A favorite recording is Deep In A Dream on Sonny Clark's Leapin' and Lopin. Jesus YES! Also Heavy Soul... there's a reason Hans Dulfer named his label after Ike's date! Quote
JohnS Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 Congo Lament gets the most plays here. Quote
donald byrd 4 EVA Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 Im a big fan of it might as well be spring. ike is the best Quote
king ubu Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 Silly question... (guess I know the answer for me is "yes") - do I need the "Easy Living" CD when I have the Bennie Green Mosaic Select? There are three quartet tunes from the session not on the Select, "I've Got a Crush on You", "Easy Living" and "Nancy (with the Laughing Face)". I've got the later on the "Ballads" compilation (which made a little bit of sense before the 45 Sessions came out again in the Conn series, nowadays I'm holding on to it for that one track). Quote
Gheorghe Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 Blue and Sentimental is my favourite. Of course, I also like "Soul Samba", but it´s a record that makes me sad, Ike Quebec was very ill, it was at the very end of his career and you can hear it on the record. Blue and Sentimental is just beautiful. Quote
king ubu Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 Gee, just found out that "From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs" has yet another two tracks... from a three-track (?) 1959 session, likely with the same band as on the first of the 45 sessions... someone ought to pull together all those stray tracks (including those w/Green and those on the Lost Sessions disc) - that would make a lovely compilation!Why weren't those two tracks ("Uptight" and "Cry Me a River") added to the Conn reissue of "The Incomplete (it's official!) Blue Note 45 Sessions"? Quote
