Saxophonist Lou Donaldson is best known for his soulful, bluesy approach, although in his formative years he was, as many were of the bebop era, heavily influenced by Charlie Parker. Donaldson has worked with jazz greats including Milt Jackson, Thelonious Monk, Blue Mitchell, Horace Silver and Art Blakey. 

First released in 1959, The Time is Right is a warm, mellow affair overall, definitely post-bop. His group features Horace Parlan on piano, Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Laymon Jackson on bass and Dave Bailey on drums. Ray Baretto is featured on conga, which gives the session a bit of Latin flavor.~ Editorial Reviews https://www.amazon.com/Time-Right-Lou-Donaldson/dp/B004C6QER6
