      So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

      By jazzbo · Posted

      A warm, windy morning. Slept in and Memphis wanted to sleep in as well. Started off with a box set I finally found at a decent price that I have wanted, disc 1 of 2, Clarke-Boland Big Band “Blowin’ the Cobwebs Out”     I’ve had most of this music on LP and cd for decades, but I always wanted this compilation and am glad to have it now. Sounds great here as well. This band was truly outstanding–dynamic, vivid, chockful of great soloists and exciting arrangements. One day I’ll find a decently priced copy of the other Emanonn box set of this band, “Historically Speaking”. . . .

      I have the Japanese CD release. The personnel besides Ammons and McGhee seem to be Jake Fisher (g), Barney Richmond (b), Willie Mashburn (ds), and Waco (bongos). There's no information available about the sidemen, but they were likely Chicago locals active in the Soul, R&B, or Blues scene. Since it was released on Argo under the name Howard McGhee & The Blazers, perhaps there was a plan to market it similarly to The Aces (and not really about Ammons & McGhee?)

      Yes, this does make sense if his Prestige contract was maintained even during his prison sentence in the 60s.

      Any way you slice it House Warmin' is a great record.  I did in fact purchase s second copy once - the Nothin But Soul issue - at a record convention but it wasn't overpriced and as memory serves, I think it sounded better than my first copy, which was one of those black and white Argo reissues. As for why no Ammons mention it seems pretty obvious to me that he was a Prestige recording artist and this was Argo.  Pretty sure that after he helped make Prestige such a successful label that Weinstock kept him as a contracted performer.
