My Hour of Need

My Hour of Need is an album by jazz vocalist Dodo Greene featuring performances accompanied by the Ike Quebec Quintet recorded in 1962 and released on the Blue Note label.

[1][2] The 1996 Connoisseur Series limited edition CD reissue features another six previously unissued tracks recorded at later sessions for a proposed follow-up album.

[3] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This set was a very unusual release for Blue Note.

Greene's mixture of R&B and soulful blues in a voice very reminiscent of late-period Dinah Washington is much more pop and blues-oriented than the music on any other Blue Note release from the period.

In reality, the main reason to acquire the relaxed set is for the warm tenor of Ike Quebec (who is perfect in this setting) and the occasional guitar of Grant Green.
