Title: A Forgotten Saxophone Master
Product review: Ike Quebec is one of the most underrated saxophonists I think in the history of jazz. His life was cut way too short. There's no telling what he could have done, but at least we have some very memorable recordings of Quebec, which includes this 1961 recording cut for Blue Note Records."It Might As Well Be Spring" capture Quebec in fine form with Freddie Roach on organ, Milt Hinton on bass, and Al Harewood on drums. For those of you who don't like organ, especially in jazz music, should give this recording a spin, because what we have here is unobtrusive and lyrical, which is not like jazz organ. It's a healthy alternative to the style of organists like Jimmy Smith and Larry Young. Roach's approach was more subtle and it somehow makes this recording just sound right.This is a group that plays with a low burning fire under them and after awhile you'll start to smell what's really cooking: this beautifully played music. Highly recommended.
