Smithville is the second album by American jazz trumpeter Louis Smith, recorded in March 30, 1958 and released on Blue Note—his final album for the label.[1]
The AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine states, "Stylistically, there are no surprises here -- this is mainstream bop and hard bop, original and contemporary bop numbers, as well as standards... It's a first-rate hard bop set that deserves wider distribution than it has received."[2]
