About the artist

Ike Quebec

IKE QUEBEC was a jazz saxophonist who lit up the New York City music scene in the 1960s with his smooth, soulful playing. Born in Newark, New Jersey, Quebec began his career as a member of the Count Basie Orchestra before striking out on his own as a bandleader. His sound is best described as a combination of hard bop and soul jazz, with a touch of blues thrown in for good measure. Quebec's music has a warm, inviting quality that makes it perfect for late night listening or a lazy Sunday afternoon. Despite never achieving mainstream success, Quebec's influence on the jazz world is undeniable. His albums, like "Blue and Sentimental" and "It Might As Well Be Spring," are considered classics of the genre, and have been sampled by hip-hop artists and revered by jazz aficionados. Quebec's music is a perfect encapsulation of the swinging, soulful sound of 1960s jazz. His smooth, melodic playing style and impeccable sense of timing make him a joy to listen to, whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a casual listener. Sadly, Quebec's career was cut short when he passed away in 1963 at the age of just 44. But his music lives on, a testament to his talent and lasting impact on the jazz world. So next time you're looking for some cool, breezy jazz to soundtrack your evening, why not give Ike Quebec a spin? You won't be disappointed.
