This is an incredible debut album by a great trumpeter who was very briefly on the Jazz scene in the late 1950s. He left the Jazz world to teach at the University of Michigan. Louis Smith was a major trumpet player. He performs here with Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on alto saxophone, Duke Jordan on piano for the first 3 tunes and Tommy Flanagan on the last 3. Doug Watkins is on bass and Arthur Taylor is on drums. "Here Comes Louis Smith!"....indeed!
