The Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions is a compilation album by American saxophonist Ike Quebec.
Despite the fact this is a compilation, all the pieces couldn't be found anywhere else at the time of the release, and still remain so, not counting From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs which, however, includes only a part of this collection.
The July 1 session marks the last day of recording at the original Van Gelder Studio, based in Hackensack.
Blue Note had just experienced an amazing success thanks to Horace Silver's hit "The Preacher"/"Doodlin'" (BN 1630).
Producer Alfred Lion, astonished by the popularity the 45 had gained, decided to invest more in recordings primarily intended for 45 rpm releases.
