About "Margie" by Jimmie Lunceford And His Orchestra

Jimmie Lunceford's 'Margie' skips with a sly, vaudevillian winkβ€”trumpets pealing like a carousel calliope, reeds murmuring secrets. The remastered clarity sharpens the contrast between jaunty surface and a faint, nostalgic melancholy, as if the party's last guest lingers.
