Blue Note, 1968
Lou Donaldson had been a Blue Note stalwart since his earliest recordings in 1952 and over the following 15 years produced numerous classic dates spanning bebop, bebop, and soul jazz. But when the alto saxophonist hooked up with the funky drummer Leo Morris (aka Idris Muhammad) for 1967s Alligator Bogaloo it began a run of great groove-oriented albums including Mr. Shing-A-Ling, Midnight Creeper, and 1968s Say It Loud. Filling out the band were Donaldsons fellow Blue Note labelmate trumpeter Blue Mitchell, organist Charles Earland, and guitarist Jimmy Ponder on this emphatic session which opens with a firmly in-the-pocket version of James Browns Say It Loud (Im Black and Im Proud). Side 1 also includes deeply soulful versions of Gershwins Summertime and Ellingtons Caravan followed by the hard-grooving numbers Snake Bone and Brother Soul which fill out Side 2.
