Lou Donaldson - Pretty Things

Review by Paola Rosi

The album Pretty Things by Lou Donaldson is a must-have for jazz enthusiasts. Released in 1970, the album features a mix of classic jazz tunes and original compositions that showcase Donaldson's exceptional saxophone playing.

The album opens with the upbeat and funky "Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky", setting the tone for the rest of the album. The title track "Pretty Things" is a smooth and soulful ballad that highlights Donaldson's ability to convey emotion through his playing.

Donaldson is joined by a talented ensemble of musicians, including Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Lonnie Smith on organ, and Melvin Sparks on guitar, who all contribute to the album's rich sound.

One standout track is the Latin-inspired "The Caterpillar", which features Donaldson's saxophone dancing over a lively percussion section. Another highlight is the bluesy "Nice 'N Greasy", which showcases Donaldson's ability to play with a raw and gritty tone.
