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 

I like Ike so I'll look fot it .

apologies, I was the one who got confused with Rollins and Coltrane...I was struggling between Colossus and Giant Steps. 
Another suggestion for the blues category would be Mick Abrahams (founding member of Jethro Tull). I listened to his solo album and both Blodwyn Pig albums this evening, the later being bluesy with a tinge of jazz. Recommended.
