THE INFLUENCE OF CHARLIE PARKER CAN BE HEARD IN VIRTUALLY EVERY MODERN JAZZ MUSICIAN, PARTICULARLY PLAYERS OF THE ALTO SAXOPHONE. ALTHOUGH CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF “BIRD’S CHILDREN” LOU DONALDSON ABSORBED AND SYNTHESIZED OTHER PRE-PARKER INFLUENCES, SUCH AS JOHNNY HODGES AND BENNY CARTER. THIS RECORDING MARKS A PERIOD IN HIS DEVELOPMENT PRIOR TO A STYLISTIC SHIFT AWAY FROM BOP AND TOWARD A STRONGER RHYTHM AND BLUES EMPHASIS. THREE UP-TEMPO TUNES ARE PURE BEBOP ; THE REMAINING NUMBER IS A MEDIUM BLUES IN B FLAT, QUITE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE HARD BOP PERIOD. OVERALL, LOU TAKES OFF BREAKS NO NEW MUSICAL GROUND, BUT IT IS A SOLID, SWINGING SESSION OF HIGH-CALIBER PLAYING –––– ORIGINAL 1958 FIRST MONO DEEP GROOVE PRESSING WITH SHINY VINYL RECORD WHICH APPEARS IN STRONG, BARELY PLAYED CONDITION WITH A FEWER TINY LIGHT MARKS ... “RVG” (STAMPED) , “EAR” AND “9M” IN THE RUN-OFF. THE LAMINATED COVER HAS SMALL WEAR TO CORNERS AND A BIT OF FLAKING AT TOP OF SPINE –– NO WRITING, NO STICKERS.
