The record
Freddie Roach's organ sits under Ike Quebec's tenor, with Milt Hinton's double bass and Al Harewood at the drums -- a warm, low-lit setting for a program that stays close to ballads: 'Lover Man,' 'Willow Weep For Me,' the title tune. Quebec leans on every note rather than running past it. Blue Note 4105, mono, 1964, Nat Hentoff's notes.
