Lou Donaldson is an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and band leader. Born on November 1, 1926 in Badin, North Carolina, United States, he has made significant contributions to the world of jazz music.

Known for his soulful and melodic style of playing the saxophone, Lou Donaldson has captivated audiences with his unique sound. He has collaborated with renowned artists such as *Stanley Turrentine*, *Blue Mitchell*, *Kenny Dorham*, and many others.

With a career spanning several decades, Lou Donaldson has released numerous albums as both a bandleader and a sideman. His compositions showcase his talent for creating memorable melodies that resonate with listeners.

Lou Donaldson seems to glide from one great solo to the next one, effortlessly playing the finest runs over a Latin-flavoured background aptly provided by Ray Barretta on congas.The title track became one of Blue Note's early hit singles, and it's easy to see why. It's relaxed, it's danceable, it's even sexy, and what it's definitely, absolutely not is forced.Whatever possessed Lou Donaldson on July 28, 1958, he was definitely in the zone and far, far away from his bebop roots. Listening to this, it even feels logical that Donaldson would become one of the hardest grooving soul jazz musicians, because even here he is solidly in the groove, albeit a stylistically different one.
