  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.

  5. 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).

  13. 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.

  17. 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.

  20. Lou Donaldson, Blues Walk, 1958 on Blue Note

    Great late 50s Blue Note album, with Donaldson joined by Peck Morrison on bass, Ray Barretto on congas, Dave Bailey on drums, and Herman Foster on piano. Sleeve notes by Ira Gitler. (Donaldson died last month – November 2024).

    I wasn’t as familiar with Donaldson as some of his better known contemporaries, but he started with Milt Jackson and Thelonious Monk, and was part of Art Blakey’s Quintent on A Night At Birdland. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for his other Blue Note LPs from the 50s and 60s.

    My copy from the Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series, mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, via Joe’s Albums in Worcester MA.
