The Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions) (180g) [3LP]

Nowadays it is almost forgotten that jazz recordings were also released on 45-rpm singles in the last century, not least to fill the popular jukeboxes.

This strictly limited special edition of the Blue Note Tone Poet series brings together on three LPs all the singles with which tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec celebrated an overwhelming comeback on Blue Note Records from 1959 onwards. With them, Quebec built on his successes of the mid-forties, when he earned the reputation at Blue Note of being the "King of Jukebox Hits".

As always with the Tone Poet series, the 3-LP set is produced by Joe Harley and cut completely analog by Kevin Gray directly from Rudy Van Gelder's original master tapes. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, the LPs are packaged in a luxurious triple gatefold that also includes a booklet with unpublished photos by Francis Wolff and an in-depth essay by Loren Schoenberg.
