Elder Don is an album by American saxophonist Don Wilkerson recorded in 1962 and released on the Blue Note label.[1] It was recorded a month before Preach Brother!, but released later.
Jazz critic Harvey Pekar had this to say in his May 23, 1963 review for Down Beat magazine: "Though not an innovator, the leader is a respectable musician. His style is an amalgam of many sources..."
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "records like this go a long way in proving that Wilkerson was one of the great underrated saxophonists of his time".[2]
