Our Take

Louis Smith's "The Legendary 1957-1959 Studio Sessions" is a blast from the past that will have you craving a martini in a smoky jazz club. This collection of recordings from the trumpeter showcases his undeniable talent and charm, transporting listeners back to a golden era of music.

From the moment the first notes of "Smithville" hit your ears, you can't help but be hooked. Smith's smooth, velvety tone effortlessly glides over the intricate arrangements, making each track feel like a late-night jam session with the coolest cats in town.

Tracks like "Wetu" and "Just Friends" showcase Smith's technical prowess, with dazzling solos that will leave you in awe. But it's not all just flashy licks and impressive runs – there's a warmth and depth to Smith's playing that shines through on every track.

The album's production is top-notch, capturing the intimacy and energy of a live performance while still maintaining a crisp, clean sound. The backing band, featuring jazz legends like Cannonball Adderley and Tommy Flanagan, provides the perfect accompaniment to Smith's trumpet, creating a dynamic and cohesive sound.

Overall, "The Legendary 1957-1959 Studio Sessions" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. It's a timeless collection of recordings that proves Louis Smith's place in the pantheon of jazz greats. So grab a drink, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey to a bygone era of cool.
