Opis wydawcy:
Lou Donaldson miał już na swoim koncie siedem sesji nagraniowych dla wytwórni Blue Note zanim zrealizował swoje niekwestionowane arcydzieło – Blues Walk w 1958 roku. Składu zespołu dopełnili: Herman Foster na fortepianie, Peck Morrison na basie, Dave Bailey na perkusji i Ray Barretto na kongach. Powstał ikoniczny zestaw sześciu nagrań z jednym z najbardziej zapadających w pamięć jazzowych tematów – tytułowym Blues Walk.

Seria 180g winyli Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition jest w całości remasterowana przez Kevina Gray z oryginalnych taśm analogowych

Editor's info:
Lou Donaldson had already been at the helm of seven Blue Note sessions by the time he made his undisputed masterpiece Blues Walkin 1958. The alto saxophonist quickly became a fixture on the Blue Note scene after he first played on a Milt Jackson date in 1952 with sideman appearance on sessions led by Thelonious Monk, Art… Blakey, and Jimmy Smith, as well as a co-led date with Clifford Brown. On Blues Walk, Donaldson reconvened the line-up from his 1957 album Swing and Soul with Herman Foster on piano, Peck Morrison on bass, Dave Bailey on drums, and Ray Barretto on congas. The excellent six-song set yielded one of his most memorable themes with the cool struttin’ title track, a laid-back minor blues that opens the album with a standout performance by the leader. Donaldson keeps it bluesy on his tune “Play Ray,” showcases his bop chops on uptempo numbers like Denzil Best’s “Move” and his own “Callin’ All Cats,” and delivers stunning renditions of the standards “Autumn Nocturne” and “The Masquerade Is Over.” This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
