Deepest feeling between humans in love....

"Blue's Walk" is the one to keep. It's simply marvelous "grooving'" music.

[caponsacchi]

By far Lou's best (and most popular) album. Lou's a survivor, but whenever I want to demonstrate why Bird was unreal, I play his 4-bar break on "Night in Tunisia" (from the Carnegie Hall date with Diz) and follow immediately with Lou playing the same break from his date with Art and Clifford at Birdland. It sounds very very amateurish by comparison, but not his fault. Bird was simply that much better.

[Jazzhog]

Fantastic composition and arrangement...

PAPA LOU RULES !!!

[Mr7music7]

Mr. Donaldson is a true jazz Great! Embodies the swing and grows majestic phrases [1 personz OpiniOn]... and a sharpshooter on the Links, to boot. Dig thaat!

[flauschkatz]

It is Friday again, those who had a tough week may be just a little bit tired. Take a short break, perhaps, for a 10 minute breather. If you do go, one charming and elegant walk I happen to know is the blues walk. Lou Donald will tag along to chat with you and I am sure he will show you the way.

[TheTrinity316]

One word for Mr. Donaldson. Smooth

[dillweed44]

Holy shit this is sweet! Nice groove....

[MKJENS]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! love this

[PhilHartley100]

Absolutely LOVE this tune!!

[androidguitar]

The personel, anyone?

[PrimeBot]

Soul Jazz or "Grits N Gravy" as my parents phrased it was king in my home.

Grant Green , Jimmy Smith, Les McCann, "Brother" Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff, Lonnie Smith, Gene Ammons, Stanley Turrentine, Lou Donaldson and Hank Crawford, trumpeter Blue Mitchell were always on the record player!!!

You could smell the BBQ sauce, gravy and grits coming of the wax when this music played!!

[DOINGREALBIZZ]

this shits funky mang dont fuck wit it

[leocarman]

This was on the Iron Giant! In the cafe where Hogarth goes "First you take a chocolate bar..."

[FromParkersPen]

You haven't heard Lou until you hear "Sophisticated Lou." Get it and enjoy the stunning Nubian jacket (LP cover) along with Donaldson's smoothest collection. Not as bluesy, but still classic Lou with a universal audience appeal. It's been a favorite of mine for more than 36 years. Jazz on!

[MrJamello]

@FromParkersPen Sophisticated Lou was the first Jazz album I fell in love with when I was 13, Lou D"s smooth sax ignited my musical taste buds and I was never the same after that moment! The album cover artist's drawing of a sophisticated black beauty pulled me into the mystique and happening that Jazz is! A few years later I met a good friend A.P., who looks a lot like that drawing on the Sophisticated Lou cover. Art imitates life?

[delphiz99]

just fantastic! thanks!

[roshtoff]

great piano solo! who is this?

[msfranco64]

great song great solos perfect thanks

[peppersax]

When I bought this album, I thought that this track was the coolest thing ever! It's layed back and the solos are HOT! And yes, I have the original album:)

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Extremely well played. I know Donaldson from the sessions with Blakey and Clifford Brown. I didn't like him too much, then, but here he is astounding. Very good rhythm section, too: good pianist and a drummer who produces a groovy accent on the afterbeat as if he is sucking in his breath.

[fLabiino]

OMG. i like this song so much! it's so awsome. i play the saxophone and i have to improvise over the song. i love it. <3

[chogo888]

do you have a play along? or do you just play over this

[fLabiino]

no, i'm afraid, i've got no play along

[Soulflexer]

hahaha i know what ya mean, i play alt and this track is awesome to improvise! check Whiskey Drinking Woman from Lou, it's nice 2 improvise 2 on that track..

big up 4 the blues, jazz, soul, funk and hiphop

peace!

[robdani1997]

Lou Donaldson really outdid himself with this amazing tune. His cool style, lyricism and dynamics were all a part of his usual repetoire. He is a true American classic.

[BilaalUSA]

I don't know why Bluenote doesn't make this great album available on a 24 bit on a Rudy Van Gelder enhanced CD. It's certainly in the top 10 of the lable's expansive catalog. The same can be said for Lee Morgan's Cornbread.
