Listener Reviews & Comments
One of the few albums Ike Quebec ever recorded, Heavy Soul is the first effort in what would prove to be a busy period in the Blue Note studios in the early 1960's. His big comeback was sadly halted by his untimely death in 1963. The sound Quebec produces on the tenor has to be heard to be believed : he's absolutely unique, i.e. doesn't sound like any other tenor saxophonist. He's definitely in the big league, adopting the style of Coleman Hawkins as opposed to the softer sounds of Lester Young. Organist Freddie Roach could have been an ideal partner for Quebec's bluesy sound, but he appears somewhat bleak compared to Quebec. Perhaps not the ideal partnership after all. Quebec gorgeous sound comes to full fruition on the track "Nature Boy", which is a duet with bassist Milt Hinton. On this tune, Quebec shows once and for all what an absolute master he really was ! This track alone is worth the price of the album ! If five stars is the maximum rating, I give this CD six stars. Check out all his other albums too ! Once you discover this man's uniquely beautiful sound, you'll never imagine your life without it !
