The new boogaloo movement all started when Wess “Warmdaddy” Anderson, a longtime Wynton Marsalis sideman, and trumpeter Mark Rapp joined forces to present Rapp’s CD “Good Eats” which recognized Sweet Papa Lou Donaldson as one of the pivotal composer/ bandleaders of the modern era. After a couple tours in New Orleans and 4 SOLD OUT shows at the famous Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center, their project developed into recording their first release.
