Blue and Sentimental

Tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec also worked as an A&R man for Blue Note, urging label founder Alfred Lion to sign Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell in the late 1940s. Quebec's 1961 album Blue And Sentimental epitomizes his bluesy soulful style with a top notch quartet of guitarist Grant Green, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones.
