Louis Hayes (also called Louis Hayes with Nat Adderley and Yusef Lateef) is the eponymous debut album by American jazz drummer Louis Hayes recorded in 1960 for Vee-Jay Records.

[1][2] The personnel includes the Cannonball Adderley's 1960 Quintet with Yusef Lateef in place of the leader.

[3] The album was also re-released in 1974 under Lateef's name as Contemplation.

[4] Scott Yanow of AllMusic states "Although one misses the fiery altoist, the contrast between Nat's exciting (if sometimes erratic) cornet and Yusef's dignified yet soulful tenor make this an above-average session of swinging bop".
