 | Louis Smith: Here Comes Louis Smith (CD: Blue Note RVG)
Memphis-born, Atlanta-based trumpeter Louis Smith was the discovery of Tom Wilson who originally produced this album for his own Transition label but ultimately sold the master to Blue Note, who immediately signed Smith which eventually led to his joining Horace Silver’s quintet. The only example of him with Silver is the recently released Horace Silver - Live at Newport ’58 (Blue Note). On his debut here, he is teamed with Cannonball Adderley (billed on the original album as Buckshot LaFunke) and a first-class New York rhythm section. Smith’s playing is as clean and inventive as that of his influences Fats Navarro and Clifford Brown. Had he not returned to music education, he would have been a major jazz star in an era of giants.

 | Paul Quinichette: On The Sunny Side (CD: Prestige- US Import)
Yet another example of the informal creativity of the Prestige jam session format, in this case bringing together the Lester Young'd tenor stylings of "Vice-President" Paul Quinichette with two Bird-like alto men, John Jenkins and Sonny Red, and the J.J. Johnson-inspired trombone of Curtis Fuller.Jenkins (from Chicago) and Red and Fuller (from Detroit) were newly arrived in New York in 1957, the year this session was taped. The fresh combination helped revitalize Quinichette, whose career was flagging at the time. Pianist Mal Waldron supplied three originals on which everyone plays and the number from which the album derives its title--Jimmy McHugh's "On the Sunny Side of the Street"--is mellowed out by Quinichette and Jenkins as the only horns. Jenkins is not currently active and Quinichette and Sonny Red are dead. On this jam their music is very much alive. (Fantasy, Inc.)

Dave Pike: It's Time For Dave Pike (CD: Riverside- US Import)
Dave Pike occupies a distinctive niche in modern jazz. A vibraharpist with an attack and sound like no other, he plays with a concentrated strength that makes his improvised lines all but take physical shape. He had his sonic qualities and his relentlessly rolling swing from the beginning of his professional career. The evidence is here in It's Time for Dave Pike, recorded when he was 22 years old. Pianist Barry Harris was one of Pike's most enthusiastic advocates after the young vibist appeared on the New York scene in the early 1960s. Harris leads the rhythm section supporting Pike, with the emerging stars Reggie Workman and Billy Higgins on bass and drums. Pike's energy and infectious rhythmic qualities are in full display on his appropriately named blues "Forward." His unaccompanied version of "Little Girl Blue" shows his gifts for melodic and harmonic invention. (Fantasy, Inc.)
