It Might as Well Be Spring

by Ike Quebec

Released posthumously, tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec performs a late-career session composed entirely of slow, romantic ballads. His breathy, vibrato-heavy tone is supported by Freddie Roach's minimalist organ accompaniment, placing the record firmly in the relaxed tradition of early soul-jazz.
