▓████▓▌ Lou Donaldson does attempt to loosen up a bit with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mr. Shing-A-Ling, but the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ whole affair is a bit stilted and mis-conceived. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Not quite the full-fledged ▓▌
▓████▓▌ electric funk workout that was becoming commonplace ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for old-guard soul-jazz ▓▌
▓████▓▌ musicians in the late '60s, but not quite the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bop-inflected soul-jazz of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ early '60s either, Mr. Shing-A-Ling falls into a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ netherworld that won't connect ▓▌
▓████▓▌ either with jazz purists or fans of grooving ▓▌
▓████▓▌ jazz-funk. When the group does try ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to get funky on the record, the results just sound ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lazy -- there's no spark to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the rhythms, or to Donaldson's melody lines, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ especially on the embarrassing cover ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of the pop hit "Ode to Billie Joe." When the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ quintet settles into a mid-tempo ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vamp, Donaldson, trumpeter Blue Mitchell and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ organist Lonnie Smith do spin out ▓▌
▓████▓▌ some good solos, but the lack of energy and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ enthusiasm the group has for the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ material makes Mr. Shing-A-Ling a bit of a tiring ▓▌
▓████▓▌ listen. ▓▌

▓████▓▌ *************************************************** ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Lou Donaldson has long been an excellent bop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ altoist influenced by Charlie ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Parker, but with a more blues-based style of his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ own. His distinctive tone has ▓▌
▓████▓▌ been heard in a variety of small-group settings, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and he has recorded dozens of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ worthy and spirited (if somewhat predictable) sets ▓▌
▓████▓▌ through the years. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Donaldson started playing clarinet when he was 15, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ soon switching to the alto. He ▓▌
▓████▓▌ attended college and performed in a Navy band while ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in the military. Donaldson ▓▌
▓████▓▌ first gained attention when he moved to New York ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and in 1952 started recording ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for Blue Note as a leader. At the age of 25, his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ style was fully formed, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ although it would continue growing in depth through ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the years, Donaldson had ▓▌
▓████▓▌ already found his sound. In 1954, he participated ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in a notable gig with Art ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Blakey, Clifford Brown, Horace Silver and Tommy ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Potter that was extensively ▓▌
▓████▓▌ documented by Blue Note and that directly predated ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Jazz Messengers. However, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Donaldson was never a member of the Messengers, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ although he recorded as a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sideman in the 1950s and occasionally afterwards ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with Thelonious Monk, Milt ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Jackson and Jimmy Smith, among others, he has been ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a bandleader from the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mid-1950s up until the present. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Donaldson's early Blue Note recordings were pure ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bop. In 1958, he began often ▓▌
▓████▓▌ utilizing a conga player, and starting in 1961 his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bands often had an organist ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rather than a pianist. Donaldson's bluesy style was ▓▌
▓████▓▌ easily transferable to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ soul-jazz, and he sounded most original in that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ context. His association with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Blue Note (1952-63) was succeeded by some excellent ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (if now-scarce) sets for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cadet and Argo (1963-66). The altoist returned to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Blue Note in 1967 and soon ▓▌
▓████▓▌ became caught up in the increasingly commercial ▓▌
▓████▓▌ leanings of the label. For a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ time, he utilized an electronic Varitone sax, which ▓▌
▓████▓▌ completely watered down his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sound. The success of "Alligator Boogaloo" in 1967 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ led to a series of less ▓▌
▓████▓▌ interesting funk recordings that were instantly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ dated and not worthy of his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ talent. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ However, after a few years off records, Lou ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Donaldson's artistic return in 1981 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and subsequent soul-jazz and hard bop dates for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Muse, Timeless and Milestone have ▓▌
▓████▓▌ found the altoist back in prime form, interacting ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with organists and pianists ▓▌
▓████▓▌ alike and showing that his style is quite timeless. ▓▌
