say it loud!

First time on CD for this classic 1969 Blue Note release, which takes its title from Donaldson's fine take on the James Brown funker "Say It Loud, I'm Black And I'm Proud." With a band featuring trumpeter Blue Mitchell, guitarist Jimmy Ponder, organist Charles Earland, and drummer Leo Morris (Idris Muhammad), alto master Donaldson turns in a fine funkified set. Detailed liner notes.
