	CMT.com : Lou Donaldson : Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		At the age of 25, his style was fully formed, and although it would continue growing in depth through the years, Donaldson had already found his sound.
		However, Donaldson was never a member of the Messengers, and although he recorded as a sideman in the 1950s and occasionally afterwards with Thelonious Monk, Milt Jackson and Jimmy Smith, among others, he has been a bandleader from the mid-1950s up until the present.
		However, after a few years off records, Lou Donaldson's artistic return in 1981 and subsequent soul-jazz and hard bop dates for Muse, Timeless and Milestone have found the altoist back in prime form, interacting with organists and pianists alike and showing that his style is quite timeless.

	Metroactive Music \| Lou Donaldson
		When Donaldson first started laying bluesy licks over a skittering organ-and-drums groove during the late '50s, it was called soul-jazz, and it quickly earned the disdain of mainstream jazz players and jazz critics who lamented such a "commercial" sound.
		Inspired by Parker, Donaldson headed to New York in 1950 at age 24, soon landing steady gigs with Thelonious Monk, Milt Jackson and Charles Mingus and becoming part of the original incarnation of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.
		Lou Donaldson and the Lonnie Smith Quartet appear at the Stanford Jazz Festival Saturday (July 8) at 8pm at Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford.

	Blue Note Records
		BORN: November 1, 1926, in Badin, NC Alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson, who recorded for Blue Note from 1952-63 and 1967-75, was a supremely soulful player who established a distinctive sound that enabled him to emerge from under the vast shadow cast by Charlie Parker's legacy.
		A leading member of the earthy, blues-based hard-bop movement of the mid-1950s, Donaldson later helped establish the widespread popularity of sax and organ combos during the late 1950s and early 1960s.
		Donaldson began playing clarinet when he was 15 before switching to the alto saxophone.

	Amazon.com: Blues Walk: Music: Lou Donaldson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Lou Donaldson's undisputed masterpiece, Blues Walk, marks the point where the altoist began to decisively modify his heavy Charlie Parker influence and add a smoky, bluesy flavor of his own.
		Elsewhere, Donaldson displays opposite extremes of his sound; the up-tempo bebop classic "Move" provokes his fieriest playing on the record, and his romantic version of "Autumn Nocturne" is simply lovely, a precursor to Lush Life.
		Lou Donaldson made his mark with this one...probably his best, then again this was 1958 and he had many more albums to cut.

	Lou Donaldson: Biography
		His distinctive tone has been heard in a variety of small-group settings, and he has recorded dozens of worthy and spirited (if somewhat predictable) sets through the years.
		In 1958, he began often utilizing a conga player, and starting in 1961 his bands often had an organist rather than a pianist.
		The success of "Alligator Boogaloo" in 1967 led to a series of less interesting funk recordings that were instantly dated and not worthy of his talent.

		In 1952 Donaldson began recording as a leader for Blue Note, with his rich sound fully formed.
		In the early ´60s Donaldson translated his bluesy sound to soul-jazz, playing with funky organ combos; his most popular record was the low-down Alligator Boogaloo (Blue Note 1967).
		After a period of relative inactivity, Donaldson made his return to jazz in 1981 and has since recorded a string of soulful hard-bop dates for Muse, Timeless, and Milestone.

	Lou Donaldson : The Lou Donaldson Quartet/Quintet/Sextet - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Since Quartet/Quintet/Sextet is Lou Donaldson's first full-length album, it's not surprising that it captures the alto saxophonist at the height of his Charlie Parker influence.
		Most of the songs on the collection are standards, with a couple of fine originals from Donaldson and pianist Horace Silver spicing the mix; in particular, Silver's rollicking, Latin-tinged "Roccus" is a standout.
		While Donaldson's tone isn't quite as full as it would be within just five years, he impresses with his bold, speedy technique and fine phrasing.

	CD Review of Lou Donaldson - Midnight Creeper on Blue Note/Toshiba (Japan) @ jazzreview.com
		Originally released in 1968, it should be considered one of Lou Donaldson's finest from his days of pre-commercial funk.
		The finest, most favored track has got to be Donaldson's "Elizabeth." Donaldson opens with a romantic call as Idris Muhammad drums a near-bossa rhythm that's ultimately sensual.
		Donaldson emerged more deeply into funk instrumentals at this point and he was obviously quite capable.

	Billy Taylor's Jazz \| Guest Artist
		He introduces Donaldson as a bebop survivor who was also in the vanguard of the so-called "soul-jazz" movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
		Donaldson tells Dr. Taylor about his youthful days in North Carolina at Greensboro A&T College and about the fine musicians, among them trumpeter Irvin Stokes, in the college band.
		Dr. Taylor asks Donaldson what it was like to record at that hotbed, jazz record label, Blue Note Records; and Donaldson, recounting a recording studio encounter with Thelonious Monk, again cracks up the crowd.

	Lou Donaldson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Lou Donaldson, who has played with all those post-war jazz greats, resisted many invitations to name drop last night at the Kennedy Center, where he was the guest at the taping of Billy Taylor's public radio program.
		Both Taylor and audience members kept asking Donaldson to talk about musicians other than himself, but Donaldson just said, "Yeah, I knew him," in his high voice and then told some more interesting story about someone's brother Bubba or how he first started playing saxophone to get out of harder duties in the Navy.
		Donaldson plays alto and did a lovely sort of imitation of the early, sweet alto players like Benny Carter and Johnny Hodges on "Getting Sentimental Over You," throwing in a few bebop embellishments.

	Lou Donaldson: Old School.. and Still Cool
		Born in Badin, North Carolina on Nov. 1, 1926, Lou Donaldson is still going strong at the age of 79, playing the same brand of soulful, swinging jazz that established him as one of the most popular alto saxophonists to ever record for the famed Blue Note label.
		Donaldson, who recorded for Blue Note from 1952 to 1963 before briefly moving to the Chess label subsidiaries Argo and Cadet from 1964 to ‘66, was an early disciple of the legendary Charlie Parker.
		But Parker’s influence faded as Donaldson began to develop his own distinctive approach—a bluesy, soulful sound that used organ and guitar as an essential foundation for his sax playing.

		In 1968 Donaldson and Smith released another highlight of this period, Midnight Creeper, an earthy, reserved record that, as the title suggests, swirls slowly with a nocturnal mystery.

		Wailing With Lou is an appropriate title for this enjoyable set of straight-ahead bop.
		He still displays a clear Charlie Parker influence, but he is beginning to break free and develop his own style.
		But what makes Wailing With Lou so enjoyable is the hot interplay between Donaldson, trumpeter Donald Byrd, pianist Herman Foster, bassist Peck Morrison and drummer Art Taylor.

		Lou was most at home in an organ based setting, which showed off his melodic bop to best advantage.
		The organ seems to steal the show on this whole album for me but maybe that is because there are so few examples of it around these days.
		Lou Donaldson's sax seems fairly constrained most of the way, but enjoyable to hear none the less.

		During the squeeze on Jazz in the 1960 Donaldson often had to resort to RandB live gigs as bop was quickly getting out of fashion.
