COMMENTS:

Here 'Tis is an album by jazz saxophonist Lou Donaldson

recorded for the Blue Note label in 1961

and performed by Donaldson with Baby Face Willette,

Grant Green, and Dave Bailey.

The album was awarded 4½ stars in an Allmusic review

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine who states

"Here 'Tis is in the front rank of Lou Donaldson records,

an exceptionally funky soul-jazz session that finds the saxophonist

swinging harder than usual.

As he moves from hard bop to soul-jazz,

Donaldson reveals a bluesy streak to his playing

while keeping the vigorous attack that defined his best bop.

Donaldson's playing is among his finest in the soul-jazz vein,

but what makes Here 'Tis such an enjoyable session

is his interaction with his supporting trio...

As support, all three know how to keep a groove gritty and flexible,

following Lou's lead and working a swinging beat that keeps flowing,

never growing static...

Their talent, combined with Donaldson at a peak,

results in a terrific record".

Rudy Van Gelder was the recording engineer

on this album.
