    • I believe that the record was originally released with Howard McGhee leader not on Argo but on Winley records, which otherwise focused almost entirely on doo-wop. 
    • 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?)
