The lad died only last month [9th November 2024] aged 98

Not a bad innings

Best known for his soulful, bluesy approach to playing the alto saxophone, although in his formative years he was heavily influenced by Charlie Parker, as were many during the bebop era.

Blues Walk was recorded on 28th July 1958 and released on Blue Note later that year.

Lou Donaldson – alto saxophone
Herman Foster – piano
Peck Morrison – bass
Dave Bailey – tubs
Ray Barretto – congas

[Six String]

Blues Walk and Takes Off! are my top two Donaldson albums though I also really dig the organ based albums like Good Gracious.

NB: The traditional first Sunday of the month will be resumed next month
