Howard McGhee - Maggie's back in town!!

Since being "demoted" on the cover by Bags, I figured I’d grab this recent Craft/AS release of a 1961 session with him as a leader.

Very enjoyable - McGhee is in great form ("Maggie" is him, back after drug issues), Manne is having fun on the drums, Newborn's on piano and Vinnegar on bass.

He is also a prolific and provocative writer who comments on a multitude of subjects, including music, race, politics, and life in America."
---"Payton's Place is an album by the jazz trumpet player Nicholas Payton, released in 1998."

I love this recording.
