Tracing Donaldson’s journey from his bebop beginnings to his defining role in the soul jazz revolution, the band brings to life some of the finest recordings of the Blue Note era.

Expect classic Donaldson favourites including Blues Walk, Hot Dog, Good Gracious!, Rev. Moses, Alligator Bogaloo and Ode to Billie Joe, alongside music associated with Jimmy Smith, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Charles Earland, Big John Patton, Pat Martino, George Benson and more.

Tony first encountered Lou Donaldson in 1993, when he was invited to attend one of Donaldson’s open rehearsals at the Mount Fuji Jazz Festival. Witnessing the master at work left a lasting impression and planted the seed for this special tribute project
