Mac Rebennack's long commercial drought finally ended in the late '80s with In a Sentimental Mood, an album of pop standards bearing almost no connection to New Orleans R&B roots. His album-opening duet with Rickie Lee Jones, "Making' Whoopee," was a big hit after it was included on the Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack, and it's easy to understand why Harry Connick Jr. fans who'd bought When Harry Met Sally were seduced by this coy come-on. Still, it's odd to hear Rebennack's scruffy baritone in service to such lush, sweeping orchestration (and to hear him sing a line like "I've got a sweet tooth for your sweet heart"). The Doctor does lend a nice bluesy feel to a Satchmo favorite, "My Buddy," and to Charles Brown's classic, "Black Night," and his version of "More Than You Know" is a small miracle of understatement. --Keith Moerer

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Oh so cool.......2007-03-09

I was staying at a tiny bed and breakfast in Cape Town when I heard this CD. I asked who it was and the owner said - oh my father-in-law loves him and so does my husband - as if that was answer enough and handed me the cover. I wrote it down and the very first time I got near a computer ordered it and several other Dr John's from Amazon. I have played it over and over since, straight repeat or shuffle. It is a lovely listenable delightful rendering of some great songs. The man's voice is magic - I am no expert but I know what I like and I love this.

3 out of 5 stars Don't mess with Mister In Between........2005-11-21

This is an album of Dr. John performing standards. Standards with a New Orleans influence. It's a good album, tastefully done. Fans of "The Night Tripper" should enjoy it.

5 out of 5 stars JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.......2005-10-27

A too brief dose of mellowed down blooze/jazz/RNB (and practically any other genre you can conjure up) as only New Orlean's own funky maestro can administer it. Like Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, and damned few others, the gravelly, soul-sational Dr. John can literally cover any standard and own it forever. His sly, steamy duet with Rickie Lee Jones on MAKIN' WHOOPEE is the perfect intertwining of two of modern music's most intriguing talents, and the ivory tinkler's breezy rendering of DON'T LET THE SUN CATCH YOU CRYING is pure laid back nirvana. No matter what kind of mood you may find yourself in, the doctor's got your prescription. RATING: FIVE BLACK KEYS

4 out of 5 stars Cool tunes.......2002-09-15

Some of the tracks on this CD are singularly special. "Makin' Whoopee" featuring Rickie Lee Jones is an absolute treat, a very nice pairing. "My Buddy" is just achingly good, as is "More Than You Know." There are some fine musical performances, notably the sax solo by Joel Peskin--edgy and cool. The charts are altogether mellow and Dr. John's gruffly appealing voice is a perfect compliment to his fluid piano playing. These are true "oldies but goodies" -- songs by Johnny Mercer, Duke Ellington and Cole Porter. Classic songs by the classic Dr. John.
Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Great mood music.......2002-05-10

This is an excellent CD for setting the mood at a patio gathering of friends, or a small dinner party for two. Some feel-good music with a touch of sentiment. Highly recommend.

Album Description

Ike Quebec's 1961-1962 comeback albums for Blue Note were all pretty rewarding, but Blue and Sentimental is his signature statement of the bunch, a superbly sensuous blend of lusty blues swagger and achingly romantic ballads. True, there's no shortage of that on Quebec's other Blue Note albums, but Blue and Sentimental is the best one by far. Quebec was a master of mood and atmosphere, and the well-paced program here sustains his smoky, late-night magic with the greatest consistency of tone. Part of the reason is that Quebec's caressing tenor sound is given a sparer backing than usual, with no pianist among the quartet of guitarist Grant Green, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. It's no surprise that Green solos with tremendous taste and elegance (the two also teamed up on Green's similarly excellent Born to Be Blue), and there are plenty of open spaces in the ensemble for Quebec to shine through. His rendition of the Count Basie-associated title cut is a classic, and the other standard on the original LP, "Don't Take Your Love From Me," is in a similarly melancholy vein. Through it all, Quebec remains the quintessential seducer, striking just the right balance between sophistication and earthiness, confidence and vulnerability, joy and longing. It's enough to make Blue and Sentimental a quiet, sorely underrated masterpiece.

Personnel includes:
Ike Quebec - Piano, Sax (Tenor)
Grant Green - Guitar
Paul Chambers - Bass
"Philly" Joe Jones - Drums

5 out of 5 stars The Sound of Relaxed Romance .......2007-07-30

All of Ike Quebec's bluenote albums are superior efforts, but "Blue and Sentimental" , along with "Easy Living" (which came after this one and before "Soul Samba") take the proverbial cake. Quebec mesmerizes with the languid-smokey-late-night-romance that he breathes deeply into his tenor saxophone. Without the accompaniment of the piano there is more space and time for Ike to move about in at his lazy leisure, and in place of it is the gentle strumming of Grant Green, who is at his most relaxed with Quebec at the helm. This fits the mood just right, and Ike Quebec is nothing if not a master at sustaining the blue tinted mood of a seemingly endless night. Images of laying in a bed with no sheets, late on a humid night, a gentle rain smearing the windows and the black streets below, a woman asleep with her head buried in your shoulder and her body pressed against you swaying with her breath, blue wisps of smoke from a cigarette lingering in the thick still air. This music is the sound of relaxed-romance, romance after passion but before sleep. A strange mingling of melancholy and quiet satisfaction. This is an album that is totally complete in and of itself, perfectly capturing a frozen moment. A still, perfect, and beautiful moment. This is Ike Quebec at the summit, and so this is jazz at the summit.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking album.......2006-05-11

This album is simply beatifull. Iqe Quebec's (tenor) tone is irremarkable. Iqe and Grant Green (guitar) colaborate so smoothly on this album, and the rytham section of Philly Joe Jones (drums) and Paul Chambers (bass) is just right for this session. The album's title does kind of say it all and I must warn you fast paced music lovers, this album is slow, blue, and sentimental. So if speed is what you need you ain't gonna get it here. The first three tracks are simply the law, they make this album what it is. Don't get me wrong the whole album is terrific, but the first three tracks set the pace for the rest of the album. Track 8 was recorded a week after the rest of the album and there are different musicians present. Quebec and Green are the same, but Sonny Clark plays piano, Sam Jones plays bass, and Louis Hayes plays drums. A great album to listen to first thing in the morning, or last thing after a good night of roaming the streets. Play it loud!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great Rainy Day Music.......2006-03-17

This is a sweet CD. Listen to the tracks on-line and see if it's your thing.

5 out of 5 stars blue and sentimental.......2004-10-09

the title song says it all. this CD is great jazz and anyone can enjoy it from the conneseour to the casual jazz fan. ike quebec never got his due, but he knows how to blow.

4 out of 5 stars Tremendous music, but..........2001-04-22

The music here is as affecting as suggested by the other reviewers, but the sound quality, specifically the digital transfer, is poor, in my opinion to the point of being unlistenable. The highs are very harsh and metallic, and Ike Quebec's mellifluous tone is not done justice. There were a number of blue note transfers in the mid eighties that suffered in this regard: many of these are thankfully available remastered in the RVG edition, as is this, albeit as a Japanese import.

    Most of this set was recorded for LP in 1978, but Leo Smit returned to the studios in 1993 to add some recently discovered short pieces. Smit, a friend of Copland and a composer himself, plays all of Copland's piano music with great comprehension. He sustains the flow throughout the difficult half-hour Piano Fantasy, though he doesn't create as much excitement in the Piano Variations as the composer did in 1935 on 78s (now on Pearl GEMM CD 9279). Much of Copland's piano music is occasional works or pieces for students, but the major works in the set make it well worth hearing. --Leslie Gerber

    It was a pleasure to hear the complete piano music of Copland. Pianist Leo Smit brings pleasure and enlightment to the listeners ear. Who better than an American pianist to interpret the music of Copland.

    4 out of 5 stars Copland's Growing Musical Style.......2001-11-06

    Leo Smit has done more than just give us a complete collection of the piano music of Aaron Copland. In doing so, he has also given us a sizeable record of Copland's growth as a composer stretching from the angry tones of the Passacaglia and the Piano Variations, to the majestic and sometimes poetic Piano Fantasy, and beyond. The two CD's also showcase Copland in his many moods, sometimes light hearted and fun as in the Scherzo Humoristique and the second movement of the Piano Sonata, or sometimes nostalgic as in Down a Country Lane or the third movement of the Piano Sonata. This is a must-have for all Copland fans.

    5 out of 5 stars great music.......2000-06-03

    A great buy for anyone who loves Copland or American contemporary music. Absolutely beautiful.

      5 out of 5 stars A fabulous collection from a promising new label.......2005-02-15

      She was arguably America's top female vocalist of the 1940's. She would become a fixture on American prime time television in the 1950's and early 1960's and "Dinah's Place" emerged as one of daytime television's top talk shows in the 1970's. No doubt about it--Dinah Shore was one of this country's most beloved entertainers for more than four decades. For years, I have been searching for a collection of her music. There have been some fairly decent options before but I have found a collection that blows all of those others away.
      Proper Records is a brand new label from England. Their catalogue includes collections by people like Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee and Tennessee Ernie Ford to name but a few. This 2004 release, aptly titled "A Proper Introduction To Dinah Shore" offers the listener a generous 24 tracks. You will find most of Dinah's biggest records from her earliest days at Bluebird records to her heyday at Columbia in the late 1940's. In fact, there are no fewer than 17 Top Ten hits on this disc. Enjoy once again great tunes like "I'll Walk Alone" and "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" from the early 1940's. Sing along with memorable songs like "Shoo-Fly Pie amd Apple Pan Dowdy" and one of her biggest hits "Doin' What Comes Naturally" from the summer of 1946. And no Dinah Shore anthology would be complete without two of her #1 hits "Anniversary Song" and "Buttons and Bows". All tracks have been digitally remastered which really enhances your enjoyment of these songs, particularly her work from the Columbia years.
      "A Proper Introduction To Dinah Shore" comes in an extremely attractive twice folded cardboard case. The colorful 8 page illustrated booklet contains rate photos, session details and biographical notes. Frankly, I found nothing not to like and I intend to investigate other releases from Proper Records. And oh, by the way, the price is right as well. This collection is a real winner and one that I would enthusiastically recommend!

      5 out of 5 stars Diverse offering full of laughter, love and the blues!!.......1998-12-24

      This musical soundtrack is my favorite! It has a diverse offering of artists who range in vocals from a very robust and alluring tenor to enchanting soprano. The types of songs go from fun & upbeat to "somebody-please-get-me-a-tissue" blues. These selections will make you envision whatever scene/theme that is being performed and will force you to crawl into the number and savor/enjoy the fun or the blues of it.

      I love it!! I believe you will, too.

          3 out of 5 stars A Spike that promises but delivers only now and then!.......2006-11-23

          This 2002 Spike Jones indie release of some rather rare tracks in the Jones arsenal is one that promises alot but doesn't really deliver overall.
          Harlequin is an indie company in England who makes their living obtaining copies of sometimes rare/hard to find records now in the hands of private collections and releasing them onto records/CDs....a great way to get around copyright laws in many countries.Harlequin,Proper,Flapper,ASV,et al have done very well over the years trying to fill the niche collectors market in material that the biggies won't or aren't interested in releasing.This release while produced in England was made in the Czech Republic....make of that what you will,if anything.
          This is great for collectors and compleatists looking for those rare items to add to their favourites collections.But like everything else in this world caveat emptor,buyer beware.Not all indie releases are made equal as some companies take more pains to get their work done as well as they can while others are just out there to exploit a gullable public.
          While this release doesn't fall into the latter category by any means it is certainly from a audio point of view rather disappointing.It's a mixed bag with some tracks sounding quite well while others sounding pretty poor.
          There are two main factors involved here: 1) the person on the sound board,i.e. the expertise/committment at equalizing and remixing the sound the best he/she possibly can and 2)the source material involved,i.e.how worn/damaged are the pressings they have to work with.
          And this is the crux on which buying these releases rest on.You takes your chances and settle for what you gets.
          Another bone of contention I have with the release are the liner notes.For the most part they are all over the place.They are written by a member of the Spike Jones International Fan Club who(should have known BETTER) wrote them like he was releasing them to a bunch of buddies instead of a more generalized public.It's filled with alot of inane patter,in-jokes and references.While I "got" many of them this kind of liner note is NOT for general fan consumption and shows a disturbing lack of professionalism and subsequent lack of respect for the buyer.
          To top this the liner notes do blurbs on just 13 of the 23 tracks on the disc!! The best thing about the booklet really are the pictures included,not much else.
          In conclusion unless you are a Spike Jones compleatist who REALLY wants these performances,about five released studio recordings and the rest split between alternate takes and live recordings,then I suggest you give this a pass.The sound varies considerably on these tracks and are no where near what you would hear on official releases and should have been better than they are.And let's not get into the liner notes again....as annoying as a Popcorn Sack!!

          3 out of 5 stars New To Spike? Don't Buy this until you complete "Slickers 101".......2006-07-28

          If you are new to Spike and the Slickers, buy one of the "Best of Collections" first! The reason is simple: those CDs contain the polished, finely tuned performances that made us fans. This CD contains material that an old time Spike fan like me appreciates as "the other stuff Spike did".

          5 out of 5 stars And now for some REAL info?.......2003-05-15

          Incredible performances: just listen to the live performance of "Dance of the hours", or Tommy Dorsey trying to fit in Spike's rendering of his own sig tune "I'm getting sentimental over you" (also live)... a bunch of other gems too. BUT: again, like with the other Harlequin records, you have to know already a lot about Spike & Slickers, because their liner notes keep referring to "insiders only facts". I like the style of the notes, but the contents are lost on me... Since I actually would have liked to rate this CD SIX stars, leaving of one for the liner notes still gives me five stars. Hahaha!

          5 out of 5 stars Long lost Spike Jones tracks surface!.......2003-01-25

          Harlequin has been releasing hard-to-find Spike Jones items since the 1980s, beginning with the Standard Transcriptions. But this new release, Fonk, is absolutely the best of the litter! Even if you are a rabid Jones collector, you will find a goldmine of long out-of-print discs, previously unheard radio excerpts, interviews, and even several alternate performances from Spike's golden days with RCA Victor. The sound is quite good on all tracks. There is not a "lemon" among them!
