leroy vinnegar quintet leroy walks again cd album re rm Late Romantic the production clearerLeroy Vinnegar was a pivotal bass player in hard bop, known for his walking bass lines and deep swing feel. This 1990 release on Original Jazz Classics captures his quintet in fine form, featuring crisp interplay between horns and rhythm section. The sound is warm and organic, with Vinnegar's bass anchoring everything with purpose and musicality. Classic hard bop material flows naturally from the ensemble, driven by a tight groove and genuine swing.
