Alligator Bogaloo is the 1967 hard bop and soul jazz album by jazz alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson recorded on the Blue Note label. It features Donaldson with Melvin Lastie on cornet, Lonnie Smith on organ, George Benson on guitar, and Leo Morris on drums, a.k.a. Idris Muhammad.
The success of the title track surprised Donaldson as they were three minutes short for the session and had no more material. So he came up with a riff the guys could follow for three minutes to fill out the time, and that was the only thing that sold on the record.
The album’s six tracks are listed as Alligator Bogaloo, One Cylinder, The Thang, Aw Shucks!, Rev. Moses, and I Want a Little Girl. The album was produced by Alfred Lion and recorded at Van Gelder Studios in Englewood, New Jersey. #jazz #classic #collectible #music
