Here Comes Louis Smith

Here Comes Louis Smith is the debut album by American trumpeter Louis Smith recorded on February 4 & 9, 1958 for Transition, but the company went out of business before release; the album masters were acquired by Blue Note's Alfred Lion and released shortly after on Blue Note that same year.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow says. "Louis Smith had a brilliant debut on this Blue Note album, his first of two before becoming a full-time teacher."
