Louis Hayes (album)


Louis Hayes is the eponymous debut album by American jazz drummer Louis Hayes recorded in 1960 for Vee-Jay Records. The personnel includes the Cannonball Adderley's 1960 Quintet with Yusef Lateef in place of the leader. The album was also re-released in 1974 under Lateef's name as Contemplation.

Reception

of AllMusic states "Although one misses the fiery altoist, the contrast between Nat's exciting cornet and Yusef's dignified yet soulful tenor make this an above-average session of swinging bop".
