Great early material from Lou Donaldson – with a hard-hitting bop sound missing from his later work! The tracks are short, raw, and lively – and filled with the kind of pre-hardbop soul that Donaldson was infusing into jazz, along with other players on the material – like Horace ...

Late 60s repackaging of the Swing & Soul album, a rare one by Lou! Pure genius from Lou Donaldson – proof that his voice on the alto sax was one of the freshest in the post-Charlie Parker years! Lou's blowing here with a lively intensity that's clearly inspired by Parker, but which ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Although this set was issued on Sunset during the late 60s, it's most likely comprised of material recorded for Vee Jay earlier in the decade – when Harris was working in a groundbreaking style that mixed soul jazz and exoticism, into an amazing blend that still deserves huge recognition ...

A weird little session of electric blues – put together almost as an "introduction" to the blues, and featuring a newer take on a number of older styles – with currents of funk and soul that are similar to some of the Bluesway recordings of the time!
