OKAY, ONE LAST TIME!I re-ripped this a couple weeks ago!
A special share from our Brazilian buddy Alvinho who actually bought the LP and had it shipped to me! This album is a wonderful surprise. All Killer!
Back Street catches Lou Donaldson live in Paris with his playing partner of 30+ years, Herman Foster and their regular working band of the time. Sweet Lou is burning it up, leaving no doubt he still has plenty in the tank. The real stars of this set, however, are the excellent and imaginative rhythm section. Herman Foster is some marvelous blend of Monk and Jamal and himself that makes for some very exciting, percussive solos!
A lovely late career surprise from Sweet Poppa Lou!
