Kings Recording had a great selection generally, but in particular they had a lot of CDs on the Blue Note label.
I got this one on a hunch based on the label - Blue Note has great quality control, and the fact that Lou plays alto saxophone with a simple piano/bass/drums combo.
It was a good hunch as Lou and the boys play jazz with a soulful touch. The two featured tracks being fine examples.
Where do they all belong? The only Lou Donaldson album I own. It slots into the jazz category nicely.
