Long a fixture on the Los Angeles jazz scene, Leroy Vinnegar (1928-1999) was a master of the art of "walking" on bass, maintaining the steady pulse that contributed to hundreds of Southland sessions. As leader, he selected an unusual group that included the versatile Victor Feldman (here on vibraphone), the late great Carl Perkins on piano, Teddy Edwards on tenor saxophone, and the rare Gerald Wilson as solo jazz trumpeter. This new pressing of Leroy Vinnegar's first album as leader Leroy Walks! is released as part of Contemporary Records' Acoustic Sounds anniversary series. Recorded by legendary engineer Roy DuNann, this issue is pressed on 180-gram vinyl, all-analog mastered at QRP from Bernie Grundman's original tapes, and is presented in a tip-on sleeve.
