Hit: 5 Stars
Blue and Sentimental isn't just one of Quebec's finest albums (alongside Heavy Soul); it's one of Grant Greens finest also. The sparse instrumentation coupled with such strong soloing makes them both stand out like three dimensional sound sculptures. The remastering has only emphasised this wonderful clarity.
Much has been mentioned about the ability of rock musicians to fashion songs out of riffs but none do it better than a Jazzman. Minor Impulse, written by Quebec, is `just a riff' that tumbles into a quintessential swinger of both their styles. It has a way of bringing people back to life and must be one of the greatest jazz tracks ever!
The drummer Philly Joe has also benefited from the remastering. The timbre from his snare and cymbals is more audible and Paul Chambers bass lines are typically firm and reassuring. No small wonder that these two musicians contributed so positively in making the Miles Davis band of the mid to late fifties such a success.
Another interesting feature about this line up is the exposed duet interaction between Paul Chambers and Grant Green. After Ike's solo on the title track for example, Green solos to the accompaniment of Chambers while Philly Joe almost lays out completely. The result is one of utmost compatibility between Green and Chambers.
This set is a mixture of blues soaked ballads and up tempo movers that has the interesting instrumental line up of tenor sax, electric guitar, bass and drums. Out of this sense of space Quebec projects a haunting emotional grandeur that remains buttressed by the integrity of his phrasing and will continue to remain fresh in its convictions throughout future generations.
As always, Blue Note has adorned the packaging with some great photos-Ike Quebec's Blue & Sentimental has never looked or sounded so good!
