There's just something about the lines in Louis Smith's tunes that really knocks me out, as well as tickles me in a way. They're densely packed with bebop information, with a sort of literal-mindedness about the way the phrases proceed. Unrelenting, yet joyful. Very hip, but also with a certain naiveté in them. I love them!

Impresionante música, una de las mejores secciones rítmicas que he escuchado. Latin jazz de altísima calidad, arreglos insuperables y solistas que dicen algo. Me encanta este disco. Palmieri un genio. jazztapronto
