We show that a remarkable compatibility exists between the two methods in the light and heavy baryon sectors. In particular, the band number used to classify baryons in the 1/N_c expansion is explained by the quark model and the mass formulas for both approaches are consistent.To appear in the proceedings of Few-Quark States and the Continuum, BLED WORKSHOPS IN PHYSICS, vol. 9, no. 1High Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
