  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.

    My copy—via Amazon—is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2024, mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI.

  3. Lou Donaldson Quintet - Wailing with Lou

    1957 release from Donaldson (alto), recently re-released by Blue Note for the Tone Poet Society, and remastered by Kevin Grey.

    This very enjoyable album starts with a huge burst of energy (Ellington's Caravan), and moves through a set of bop and hard-bop tunes, all played with verve and style.

    Features Donald Byrd (trumpet), Herman Foster (piano), Peck Morrison (bass), and Art Taylor (drums).

  7. lou donaldson - here ‘tis

    Tone Poet Society release of this 1961 session from Donaldson (sax), Grant Green (guitar), "Baby Face" Willette (organ), and Dave Bailey (drums) has a heavy emphasis on blues and soul-jazz, with some hard bop.

    Lots of good moments, and although I tend to prefer piano/bass in there rather than organ, Willette's playing is hard to dismiss.

  9. Alligator Bogaloo is an album by #jazz #saxophonist #LouDonaldson recorded for the #BlueNote label in 1967 and featuring Donaldson with #MelvinLastie, #LonnieSmith, #GeorgeBenson, and #LeoMorris (later to be better known as Idris Muhammad). The success of the title track surprised Donaldson: "[W]e made the date and we were three minutes short. I said we don't have no more material. And the guy said just play anything for three minutes so we can fill out the time. So I just made the riff.

  10. RIP #jazz great #LouDonaldson. Saw him in the mid 2010's. He was still joking about "con-fusion-ist" jazz.

    Here's hi-res #albumart for his "Blues Walk" (1958). Mastodon compresses large images. Click for an uncompressed 3886x3686 .jpg: drive.google.com/file/d/16N74f

  11. RIP Lou Donaldson (1er novembre 1926 - 9 novembre 2024)

  12. more japan cd stuff.

    along that ongoing retail price explosion for vinyl records these import cds have sneaked onto the "reasonable & affordable" lists.

    also, taming the addiction for more is hard.
