Description:
Leroy Vinnegar is one of today's leading exponents of the "walking" bass, i.e. a steady four-crotchets-to-the-bar succession of notes as opposed to the style of, say, Paul Chambers, who appears to be playing a running solo by way of accompaniment. The full group heard on most of these tracks comprises Gerald Wilson (trumpet), Teddy Edwards (tenor sax), the late Carl Perkins (piano), Vic Feldman (vibes), Tony Bazley (drums) and Leroy Vinnegar himself on bass. Wilson is frankly disappointing in the light of his known ability as a soloist, but Edwards plays extremely well. The rhythm section could hardly fail to swing, while Perkins' piano work reminds us once again what a blow jazz suffered from his death just over a year ago. Vinnegar lays down a firm accompaniment to all the solos, emerging frequently to take choruses which are invariably characterised by a little tumbling figure that has almost become a hallmark of his work. Would You Like To Take A Walk?, played by vibes and rhythm section, is a delightful performance, with Feldman and Perkins taking extremely good solos. We should be proud of the way Feldman has moved into the limited circle of leading jazzmen in America since his departure from this country in October 1955. Apart from playing an important solo role on this LP, he arranged On The Sunny Side Of The Street, Walkin' My Baby Back Home and Walkin' By The River. A.M. From Gramophone
