  1. Lou Donaldson, Midnight Creeper, 1968 on Blue Note

    Donaldson joined here by Leo Morris (drums), George Benson (guitar), Lonnie Smith (organ) and Blue Mitchell (trumpet). Very groovy soul-jazz LP from late sixties Blue Note.

    Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs and produced by Francis Wolff.
