Lou Donaldson Blues #3 - Phoenix

[Dan Gould]

anyone have more info for this one than what is in discogs?

I paid like $3 for a copy. I've known the label for some questionable releases like a live Freddie Hubbard with Junior Cook in the 70s and figured I'd take a shot at this. But its pretty confusing, as Foster is listed but there's organ on at least one track, I think its electric piano on another though it might be organ also, and there's a track with a trumpeter I am pretty sure is Bill Hardman.

Overall its not the worst obscure Donaldson record to hear (those would be the Cotillion releases, and a special thumbs down on Poinciana), only B1, City, Country City sounds like a badly conceived 70s track. The rest is fine if nothing truly special..

So if anyone has other details on this I'd appreciate it!

Hmm. I have At His Best pulled out right now will have to listen to those two tracks. I think I'd recognize Just Friends if it was off LD+3.
