Background
According to Donaldson, Blue Note initially didn't like any of the album, "the conga drums or the new musicians."[2]
Reception
Template:Music ratingsThe AllMusic review by Lee Bloom states, "This recording marks a period in his development prior to a stylistic shift away from bop and toward a stronger rhythm and blues emphasis... Overall, Lou Takes Off breaks no new musical ground, but it is a solid, swinging session of high-caliber playing.[3]
