The record
Big-toned and unhurried, Quebec leads a rotating cast of organ trios and rhythm men through the 45 sides that helped bring him back into the Blue Note fold after years away. Jukebox-ready but soulful, it's a snapshot of the tenor's late-'50s return -- warm, blues-soaked, built for the after-hours crowd.
