The record
Lou Donaldson's alto is what changes the arithmetic here -- Smith, Quentin Warren on guitar and Donald Bailey on drums had the groove handled by themselves, and the horn gives them a front line to answer. The program stays loose and songful, from Pork Chop to Just A Closer Walk With Thee. Blue Note 84141, cut by Rudy Van Gelder, cover photo by Francis Wolff.
