Homemade Wood Pellet Boilers

Lou Donaldson.

Saxophonist and singer. He began studying clarinet at the age of 15 and continued taking classes when he joined the Navy. After taking the alto saxophone was made in an armed band with Willie Smith, Clark Terry, and Ernie Wilkins.
He recorded with Milt Jackson and Thelonious Monk (Both 1952) and as the leader of several small groups, and among his companions were Blue Mitchell, Horace Silver and Art Blakey (all 1952) and Clifford Brown and Philly Joe Jones (1953).
In 1954 he and Brown joined Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Continued to lead small groups, mainly in the eastern U.S., he performed in Stockholm (1965) and touring and recording in Europe (1981-82).
His early work for Blue Note (1952-1962) showed his impressive mastery of the bop style, "Groovin High", 1957 [mp3], but when in 1963 he began to record for Argo (later renamed Cadet), which specialized in funk, some of its spark Creative seemed to be sacrificed to the need for commercial success.
then returned to Blue Note (1967), however, made a series of recordings (from 1975) in which he achieved a successful blend of elements from both styles, in the 1980's once again focused on the balance of payments. Donaldson has a dazzling technique and at its best is a strong player in creative expression.
- Lawrence Koch, the New Grove Dictionary of Jazz.

Lou Donaldson, fairly reliably embodies the type of instruments associated with sound, the funk-and a record label - Blue Note -. Donaldson is indeed one of the parents of that sound characteristic of jazz in the last quarter century and warm sound is rooted in the blues. If it is joined by a superb technical ability, and absolute mastery of the saxophone, we can say that Lou Donaldson is one of the great jazz saxophonists alive today and is embodied with jazz stars such as Art Blakey, Lee Morgan or Horace Silver from the payroll of musicians from the Blue Note stable.
His recorded legacy is abundant and, fortunately, is being widely promoted by policy reissues the Blue Note and they can easily see how their collaborations with the Jazz Messengers Art Blakey or own, Thelonious Monk are jewels Music that endure over time and in the memories of the good fans. After a prolonged absence from today's jazz in the eighties and nineties, the recovery of this music in the last years of the twentieth century and early years of this, we confirmed that Donaldson lives a second stage, if anything more creative than the previous more mature and more lyrical and is celebrated collaborations with organist Jimmy Smith and guitarist Grant Green.
