Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Heavy Soul' was released by Blue Note Records during Ike Quebec's brief career resurgence in the early 1960s. Backed by organist Freddie Roach, the tenor saxophonist delivers a deeply rooted, blues-oriented session that notably contrasts with the label's typically aggressive hard bop output.
