Blue & Sentimental is an album by American saxophonist Ike Quebec recorded in 1961 and released on the Blue Note label.
The album features a quartet made up of Quebec (occasionally doubling on piano), guitarist Grant Green, and a rhythm section of Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The album features rare rhythm guitar accompaniment by Green, who was more typically a soloist.
The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 5 stars and calling it "a superbly sensuous blend of lusty blues swagger and achingly romantic ballads... a quiet, sorely underrated masterpiece".
In 2004, critic Richard Cook wrote that the album "might be Quebec's masterpiece".
Recorded on December 16 (tracks 1-7) and December 23 (track 8), 1961.
