Lou Donaldson - Pretty Things (1970)

Lou Donaldson - Pretty Things (1970)

BAND/ARTIST: Lou Donaldson

Lou Donaldson has recorded many strong sessions throughout his career but this CD reissue brings back one of the less-significant ones. Organist Leon Spencer dominates the ensembles, the material is a bit trivial and the altoist/leader uses a baritone sax on some of the selections which makes him sound much less individual than usual. Trumpeter Blue Mitchell's solos and a fine closing jam on "Love" help upgrade the music a bit but there are many better Donaldson recordings to acquire first.

TRACKLIST:

1. Tennessee Waltz (6:30)
2. Curtis' Song (5:45)
