Leroy Vinnegar Sextet
Leroy Walks!
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2023 US reissue. Features all-analog mastering from the original tapes by Bernie Grundman. Pressed on 180gm vinyl at QRP. Custom hype sticker on shrink. A cornerstone of West Coast jazz cool, Leroy Walks! captures bassist Leroy Vinnegar’s trademark “walking” style at its most infectious. Recorded in 1957 for Contemporary Records, this session swings effortlessly with tight ensemble work and impeccable sonics—an audiophile favorite since its debut.

Featuring an all-star sextet including Gerald Wilson, Teddy Edwards, Victor Feldman, and Carl Perkins, the album showcases melodic bass lines that truly lead the band rather than support it. Each track is a study in groove and balance—smart, unhurried, and deeply satisfying.
