Ike Quebec “Easy Living” Blue Note Japan cd

Ike was very important to the Blue Note label. Had he lived longer we would have had more interesting work from him as a leader, sideman and A&R man. . . but then we would have not had the same Duke Pearson albums we did or the same albums he arranged and co-produced.

He had such a great sound. Here he has great players with him.

Ike Quebec - tenor saxophone
Bennie Green - trombone (tracks 1–5)
Stanley Turrentine - tenor saxophone (tracks 1–5)
Sonny Clark - piano
Milt Hinton - bass
Art Blakey - drums

Ike Quebec “Easy Living” Blue Note Japan cd

 

This is a great album, my favorite by Ike. Even though it's two distinct sessions which aren't very similar.

Is it possible that I saw him live with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band ? I think HE was the pianist.

Yes.  McNeely was in the Jones-Lewis band for a long while.

Wonderful album to start off the year.

"In the Canopy (Part 1)" will definitely show up on "Random."

Makes me long for a "Part 2."
