(2025 Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLou Donaldson had been a Blue Note stalwart since his earliest recordings in 1952 and over the following 15 years produced numerous classic dates spanning bebop, hard bop, and soul jazz. But when the alto saxophonist hooked up with the funky drummer Leo Morris (aka Idris Muhammad) for 1967’s \u003cem\u003eAlligator Bogaloo \u003c\/em\u003eit began a run of great groove-oriented albums including \u003cem\u003eMr. Shing-A-Ling\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMidnight Creeper\u003c\/em\u003e, and 1968’s \u003cem\u003eSay It Loud\u003c\/em\u003e. Filling out the band were Donaldson’s fellow Blue Note labelmate trumpeter Blue Mitchell, organist Charles Earland, and guitarist Jimmy Ponder on this emphatic session which opens with a firmly in-the-pocket version of James Brown’s “Say It Loud (I’m Black and I’m Proud).” Side 1 also includes deeply soulful versions of Gershwin’s “Summertime” and Ellington’s “Caravan” followed by the hard-grooving numbers “Snake Bone” and “Brother Soul” which fill out Side 2. — via Label\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5SB2Kv11QEvOWfWcNXXW48?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note, UMe\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2025 \/ Original Release: 1969\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Soul-Jazz, Bop, Jazz-Funk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45340944433310,"sku":"602465149708","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/lou-donaldson-say-it-loud-artwork_7bb18543-bf00-4b91-9dd2-ad84ba4af263-copy.jpg?v=1744885532","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/lou-donaldson-say-it-loud-2025-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
