Description
Midway through Blues Walk, Ray Barretto sneaks a conga flourish under Herman Foster’s left-hand stomp, and the whole band lifts. Lou Donaldson’s 1958 Blue Note date is small-group hard bop with a strolling gait, lean and bluesy. The title track saunters, Move zips with bop nerves, and The Masquerade Is Over gives Lou room to sing on alto. This LP pressing opens the space around the horns and the low end sits deeper, so Peck Morrison’s bass and those congas feel tactile. File it next to Cannonball Adderley’s late-50s sides or the Horace Silver band; it’s that warm, groove-forward corner of the era. We play it in the shop on quiet Melbourne mornings and someone always asks what’s spinning. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Lou Donaldson records online with us. Notice the crisp snap on Bailey’s accents in Move; nothing gets harsh. Then the ballad glow of The Masquerade Is Over shows off Herman Foster’s touch and Lou’s vocal phrasing. A proper Blue Note session that swings without fuss.
