A soulful, bluesy, funky player as you will hear in the clip I’m putting in comments.
Blue Note Jazz that you can wiggle or even dance to.

Oddly enough I was listening to Lou Donaldson only yesterday – the Good Gracious album with John Patton and Grant Green. Fine funky stuff.
Hmm..
The Wikipedia link that I put in the O.P. disappeared.
Here it is.

Marvelous stuff, @Mike_H. Thanks.
Lou is a real discovery. And there’s a whole pile of his albums on Spotify
Another one just left us on Tuesday 12th: drum maestro Roy Haynes, aged 99.
Seen here in his late 80s.
He played with Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Wardell Grey, Stan Getz, Sarah Vaughan and many, many others over an 8-decade career. Among the most recorded drummers in jazz.
