Cleanhead's Back in Town - Premium Hair Care Products for Men & Women | Best for Daily Use, Salon Styling & Home Grooming

Great music; Vinson is a highly expresive blues, jazz and R/B singer; at times powerful as a blues shouter, at times imaginative as good old Satchmo.It is only pity performances are not a bit longer so that the musicians could stretch a bit more (and there are some really fine musicians here, mostly but not exclusively of Basie background); the short licks and obligattos we get from Joe Newman, Frank Foster, Paul Quinichette and others make me wish for more...Vinson's interpretations of "Ain't necessarily so" and "Caledonia" are particularly remarkable (that's why I feel free to mention Satch in this context)...It is particularly interesting how Vinson's voice trembles and becomes a sort of falsetto in the middle of any "middle register" line - no music teacher would advise it but with Cleanhead Vinson it works just fine.
