Smith will open a lot of eyes to an entire subgenre of ‘soul jazz’ that just got lost in the shuffle, especially when Motown was king. But no matter how much jazz a listener has lived with over a lifetime long or short, every reader can learn a lot from In with the In Crowd."" - Richard J. Salvucci (All About Jazz) ""With energy and zeal, In with the In Crowd goes a long way toward correcting and completing the written history of jazz from the mid-twentieth century."" - Keith Hatschek, author of The Real Ambassadors: Dave and Iola Brubeck and Louis Armstrong Challenge Segregation ""Mike Smith’s In with the In Crowd addresses the fascinating—and puzzling—near-absence of popular jazz artists from conventional histories of jazz. Underlying the entire work is a deep familiarity with and profound love of these artists and their music, and a desire to correct and expand the familiar historical narrative."" - Jonathan Bellman, area head of academic studies in music at University of Northern Colorado
