Dave NanianLou Donaldson Quintet - Wailing with Lou
1957 release from Donaldson (alto), recently re-released by Blue Note for the Tone Poet Society, and remastered by Kevin Grey.
This very enjoyable album starts with a huge burst of energy (Ellington's Caravan), and moves through a set of bop and hard-bop tunes, all played with verve and style.
Features Donald Byrd (trumpet), Herman Foster (piano), Peck Morrison (bass), and Art Taylor (drums).
