Lou Donaldson's "Here 'Tis" is one of those Blue Notes that collectors have been pleading to have reissued for years. Primarily this is because this album marked the recorded debuts of guitarist Grant Green and organist "Baby Face" Willette. (Please note that Grant Green's First Session wasn't released until 2001 -- see my review.) While Green went on to fame, if not fortune, Willette only recorded three more sessions for Blue Note, then seemingly vanished from the music world. However, the impact of both players is strongly felt on this January 23, 1961 session, Donaldson's first using the sax-guitar-organ-drum combo (Dave Bailey is the drummer BTW). Despite the new format, Donaldson was no rookie when it came to great soul jazz, he just previously found it with the help of congas instead of organ and guitar. While I still prefer Lou's more straight ahead jazz albums (see my recent review of "Lou Takes Off"), fans of funky boogaloos and acid jazz grooves will happily proclaim "Here 'Tis."
