alexatpos,

I don't see much predictive about Ike Quebec , nobody else mentioned the sax giant with the big sound !

Schubert, I ment that names and albums I have posted are quite famous...regarding Quebec, I have all of his albums he made as a leader, and quite few where he played. Still, I consider the Soul Samba maybe the most 'beautiful' album that I have, and the story behind its creation is so touching, it 'can make a grown man cry'. The story is tragic, but the music is sheer beauty
