Jazz guitarist and composer Michael-Louis Smith has released his debut “Portrait of MLS."
The album consists of seven original compositions by Smith including the jazz/pop favorite “Up in the Air" and features some of the leading jazz musicians in NYC including long time collaborators Stacy Dillard on tenor and soprano saxophone, Theo Hill on piano as well as new friends Gregg August on bass and Rudy Royston on drums.
The album has been described as a “propitious debut that announces the arrival of a seriously talented new kid on the block—one who can play, write and swing!" and Michael's sound on the album has been hailed as “modern and forward-looking" in the review by Albert Brooks.
