Midnight Creeper (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)

Alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson returned to Blue Note in 1967 after a 4 - year hiatus, starting a new phase in his long career. Back in the late 1950s to early 1960s, Sweet Papa Lou co - founded Blue Note's soul - jazz foundation with Hammond B3 organists like Jimmy Smith. He recorded great albums such as Here ‘Tis, Good Gracious!, and The Natural Soul. In 1967, on Alligator Bogaloo, he introduced a new hard - grooving sound. This was his first collaboration with organ virtuoso Lonnie Smith, featuring George Benson on guitar and Leo Morris on drums. On Mr. Shing - A - Ling, the bluesy trumpeter Blue Mitchell joined. In 1968, for the soul - jazz gem Midnight Creeper, the whole group reunited for a 6 - song set including the catchy title track, 'Love Power', 'Bag of Jewels', and 'Dapper Dan'.
