Lou Donaldson • Sentimental Journey


Review by Scott Yanow
This Lou Donaldson Quintet set (which also features organist Lonnie Smith, guitarist Peter Bernstein, drummer Fukushi Tainaka and the percussion of Ray Mantilla) offers few surprises but no real disappointments either. Altoist Donaldson plays his usual mixture of blues, ballads and standards with a fine organ trio and the results are predictably swinging. The music could have been performed in 1965 but strangely enough the familiar style heard on this CD has not dated and still communicates. The enthusiasm of the musicians (who sound perfectly at home) has kept this popular idiom alive and sounding reasonably fresh.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este set de Lou Donaldson Quintet (que también cuenta con el organista Lonnie Smith, el guitarrista Peter Bernstein, el baterista Fukushi Tainaka y la percusión de Ray Mantilla) ofrece pocas sorpresas pero tampoco decepciones reales. Altoist Donaldson toca su mezcla habitual de blues, baladas y estándares con un buen trío de órgano y los resultados son como era de esperar. La música podría haber sido interpretada en 1965 pero, curiosamente, el estilo familiar que se escucha en este CD no ha fechado y todavía se comunica. El entusiasmo de los músicos (que suenan perfectamente en casa) ha mantenido vivo este popular idioma y sonando razonablemente fresco.
