Leroy Vinnegar – Glass Of Water

ジャズ史に名を刻むベーシスト、Leroy Vinnegar。Chet Baker、Eddie Harris、Les McCannらと共演し、「ウォーキング・ベース」奏法を広めた重要人物だ。彼が1973年に残した『Glass Of Water』は、Dwight Dickersonのローズとウーリッツァーをフィーチャーしながらも、発表当時は埋もれてしまった。しかし近年、その価値が再評価され、ディガーやジャズ・コレクターたちの間で熱く求められる一枚に。そんな幻のアルバムが、ついにOn Highから初のリイシュー。リマスターを施し、ヴァージン・ヴァイナルに刻まれた奥行きあるサウンドが、Vinnegarの紡いだスペイシーなグルーヴを鮮やかに甦らせる。

Bassist Leroy Vinnegar has gone down in history as the person who popularised the "walking bass" style in jazz. He was worked with Chet Baker, Eddie Harris, Les McCann, Lee Konitz, and Stan Getz. His milestone 1973 album 'Glass Of Water' featuring Dwight Dickerson on the rhodes and wurlitzer slipped into obscurity shortly after release. However, in recent years it has been rediscovered and has become highly coveted as a grail for crate diggers and jazz collectors worldwide.
On High is proud to present the first ever reissue of this long forgotten classic. Remastered and pressed on audiophile virgin vinyl to fully capture the wonderful spacey emotion of Vinnegar's classic LP.
