Great post of the underrepresented McGhee, with some early Sahib Shihab which makes it even more worthwhile. Thanks, Mel...

The Return of Howard McGhee (1955)

I like the music.

The album cover art is quite a different story. Grim.

Fortunately, the music is the important thing & that is quite enjoyable.

Dear Mel,
I'm using 7z to get to the files and I use your name " Melanchthon " and I get wrong password. Am I missing something here?
Thanks for all you and everyone does here. Great jazz.
Regards,
Axel

It works fine. Use melanchthon, not Melanchthon

You are a Gentleman and a Prince.
It worked. Thank you.
Please keep up the great work.
Regards,
Axel
