Howard McGhee - The Return of Howard McGhee '1955 [2013]

Tracks list

Features the latest remastering. Includes a Japanese description and lyrics.
Easily one of the best albums ever cut by this oft-overlooked bop trumpeter
– and a clean, clear, no-nonsense session played with some great modern
touches! The session really steps off from McGhees earlier work nicely –
and is noteworthy not only for Howards great trumpet work, but also for the
presence of baritonist Sahib Shihab in the group, making a great small group
appearance here and really dominating the session with his strong sound. Other
players include Duke Jordan on piano, Percy Heath on bass, and Philly Joe Jones
on drums – and titles include a good number of originals by McGhee.
