Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson • Kidney Stew is Fine

Eddie Vinson was a blues shouter extraordinaire in the style of Big Joe Turner and Wynonie Harris. Always an outstanding alto saxophonist, Vinson played jazz and blues with equal vigor. The improvisational skills learned from his years as a jazz musician combined with his traditional vocal style helped him achieve the status of an American original. The occasion here finds Vinson teamed up with veteran jazz-blues musicians Jay McShann, Hall Singer and T-Bone Walker.

Although its programming has been juggled a bit, and the CD has been given liner notes, this Delmark release is a straight reissue of the original LP. Clocking in at around 38 minutes, the relatively brief set is the only recording that exists of Vinson, pianist Jay McShann, and guitarist T-Bone Walker playing together; the sextet is rounded out by the fine tenor Hal Singer, bassist Jackie Sampson, and drummer Paul Gunther. Vinson, whether singing "Plese Send Me Somebody to Love," "Just a Dream," and "Juice Head Baby" or taking boppish alto solos, is the main star throughout this album (originally on Black & Blue), a date that helped launch Vinson's commercial comeback.

Eddie Vinson era un extraordinario gritador de blues al estilo de Big Joe Turner y Wynonie Harris. Siempre un saxofonista alto sobresaliente, Vinson tocaba el jazz y el blues con igual vigor. Las habilidades de improvisación que aprendió de sus años como músico de jazz combinadas con su estilo vocal tradicional le ayudaron a alcanzar el estatus de un original americano. En esta ocasión, Vinson se asoció con los veteranos músicos de jazz-blues Jay McShann, Hall Singer y T-Bone Walker.

Aunque su programación ha sido un poco malabareada, y al CD se le han dado notas de liner, este lanzamiento de Delmark es una reedición directa del LP original. Con una duración aproximada de 38 minutos, el conjunto relativamente breve es la única grabación que existe de Vinson, el pianista Jay McShann y el guitarrista T-Bone Walker tocando juntos; el sexteto se completa con el fino tenor Hal Singer, el bajista Jackie Sampson y el baterista Paul Gunther. Vinson, ya sea cantando "Plese Send Me Somebody to Love", "Just a Dream" y "Juice Head Baby" o haciendo solos de alto boppish, es la estrella principal de este álbum (originalmente en Black & Blue), una fecha que ayudó a lanzar el regreso comercial de Vinson.
