1980 studio album by Lou Donaldson
Lush Life Sweet Slumber ) is an album by jazz saxophonist Lou Donaldson recorded for the Blue Note label in 1967 and featuring Donaldson with Freddie Hubbard , Garnett Brown , Jerry Dodgion , Wayne Shorter , Pepper Adams , McCoy Tyner , Ron Carter , and Al Harewood performing arrangements by Duke Pearson .[ 5] Alligator Bogaloo Sweet Slumber and then finally released decades later internationally.[ 6]
The album was awarded 4½ stars in an Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine , who states: "With its plush arrangements and unabashedly pretty melodies, Lush Life stands in stark contrast to most everything else he cut in the '60s. There are no blues , no stabs at soul-jazz grooves, no hard bop — only sweet, sensitive renditions of romantic standards . Donaldson shone on ballads before, but it's nevertheless surprising how successful he is on this set of slow love songs. His tone is full and elegant — it's easy to get lost in his rich readings of these familiar melodies, as well as his slyly seductive improvisations".[ 7]
