Similar genres that tie in to this movement is the soul records and R&B genres. Soul records originated in the United States in the 1950’s and combined gospel music with the blues. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame referred to soul as, “music that arose out of the black experience in America…” Often credited to Ray Charles in his classic 1954 hit, “I Got a Woman,” the 60’s saw a rise of R&B and soul musicians. Artists who originally labeled themselves as rock musicians soon began saying they had always been R&B and as Little Richard put it, “king of rockin' and rollin', rhythm and blues soulin.” In the later part of the decade these popular music styles began forming into newer genres and meshing with other ones to create a varied genre of music.

During his comeback years (1959-62) after a decade mostly off the scene, tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec recorded frequently for Blue Note. He started off with a session aimed at the 45 jukebox market and, although he eventually made a few full-length albums for the label, Quebec cut four 45 dates over a two-and-a-half-year period. This double-disc set has all of the jukebox sessions. Most of the 26 selections clock in between four and seven minutes and have long melody statements in addition to concise and soulful solos. Quebec, who was in consistently prime form during his last period, is joined by groups featuring either Skeeter Best or Willie Jones on guitar and Edwin Swanston, Sir Charles Thompson, or Earl Van Dyke on organ. Fun, loose and highly enjoyable music.
