When Bob Weinstock got around to revitalizing his soul-jazz roster in the late Sixties, Lou Donaldson's amplified alto sax sound was often on his mind. Donaldson had scored a number of hits (on Blue Note) with the alto/organ sound. Thus this album featuring Colombus native Rusty Bryant, a veteran on R&B tenor, in his only all-alto LP! His career indeed took off, and he went on to record a lot of fine music for Prestige during 1968-74.
