Say It Loud

Description

A dedicated disciple of Charlie Parker, alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson focused his energies on the bluesier aspects of his heros playing and rendered it with a sweeter edge that fashioned him a viable career for decades. During the early 70s, he engaged in experiments with funk and soul-jazz, resulting in his most commercially successful period and laying the groundwork for rediscovery by the acid jazz contingent of the 90s.
