There are so many Recordings of Lou Donaldson with organ, but this one I think is the best. And a highlight on it is the Version of "Love walked in"......

Yessir, that song is excellent! 

Among Lou's organ dates, it would be hard for me to choose between Natural Soul (with BJP), Here 'Tis (with Baby Face) and Alligator Bogaloo (with Lonnie Smith).  All three of 'em are so good.

I was in Pittsburgh last year when Chuck Spatafore, the drummer on three of these sessions, was honored as a Pittsburgh Jazz Legend.

The Awakening "Hear, Sense and Feel" Black Jazz Records, Real Gone cd, out a few days ago.

I really like this--first time hearing it. It's almost as if Duke Pearson had a record almost ready and at the last minute Sun Ra came in and arranged it and he and his team produced it. Really nice mastering.

... a masterpiece!

I have this in a 91 edition. I'd be surprised if has ever been reissued again. Yes now I see in 96, but afterwards I don't think. It is three terrific bebop sessions: two by James Moody and one by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. But it's really an octet, I think.

I like Avery.  He's one of the young players who emerged on a major label in the '90s and should have a higher profile today.  In Other Words was a really strong debut; he came out of the gate with a surprisingly mature way with a ballad, I thought.  He's picking up the pace of his recordings after a nine-year gap, with this being his 4th since 2017.

I saw him with Red Holloway the year before Holloway died and Avery got some extra space because Holloway was nursing a broken pinkie.  Avery fit in well with Holloway's organ group.

Now finishing:

I've now listened to this twice in the last few days as part of my Uptown binge.  Although I am sorely missing live music, recordings like this remind me of concerts I've attended.  In this case, I was reminded of the two sets of Richard Wyands with Jeremy Pelt and Peter Washington at Mezzrow.
