Lou Donaldson at His Best is an album by jazz saxophonist Lou Donaldson recorded for the Cadet label in 1966 and performed by Donaldson with Bill Hardman, Billy Gardner, Calvin Newborn and Grady Tate. Day by Day and Be Anything But Be Mine are rarely played but immediately likable standards. Any criticism of this album should be directed at the sequencing, perhaps the solo order and the necessity of a guitar player.
The album was awarded 3 stars in an Allmusic review by Jason Ankeny who states "The title At His Best portends some kind of career overview, but in fact it's an all new session heralding the end of Lou Donaldson's tenure with the Cadet label. Moreover, it comes nowhere close to capturing the saxophonist at his most potent, settling for a rigid, disappointingly straightforward soul-jazz approach with few sparks of energy".
