In A Mellow Tone
Wednesday August 6th, 2025 with Ron Steeds & Jim Reil
THE COMPLETE BLUE NOTE 45 SESSIONS OF IKE QUEBEC

In the late 1950’s into the 1960’s Blue Note, like many record labels, released 45rpm singles with an eye toward promoting their artists’ LPs. Tonight Ron & Jim guest host on In A Mellow Tone and sample THE COMPLETE BLUE NOTE 45 SESSIONS OF IKE QUEBEC. Recorded at three sessions over a four year span between 1959 and 1962, the music is soulful, bluesy and masterful. We'll hear the entire first session recorded July 1, 1959, half of the second session recorded September 25, 1960 and half of the third session recorded February 5&13, 1962.
