The recent release of Horace Silver ?Live at Newport ?8 has 　　 　　brought new attention to the brilliant work of trumpet Louis 　　 　　Smith, an amazing soloist and technician who left jazz for music 　　 　　education in late-1958, but not before making two albums for Blue 　　 　　Note and joining Silver抯 quintet. This second album has never 　　 　　been issued on CD until now and never issued in stereo in any 　　 　　format. Leading an exceptional quintet with Charlie Rouse, Sonny 　　 　　Clark, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor, Smith blazes his way through 　　 　　eight excellent performances, including two bonus tracks from the 　　 　　session, which were never issued in the US.
