Description: Eddie Cleanhead Vinson Cleanhead's Back In Town LP DJ Promo RE Blues Shouter Jump Blues This is a Big Joe Turner style Blues recording Jumping from start to finish highly recommended Recorded September 1957 in New York City, N. Y. Clean Head's Back in Town, subtitled Eddie Vinson Sings, is an album by the American saxophonist and vocalist Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson. Recorded in 1957, it was released by Bethlehem Records AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow wrote that "...this infectious set finds him performing some of his best known tunes. With assistance by a medium-size group that plays in a Count Basie groove ... A good sampling of the great Cleanhead." Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson (born Edward L. Vinson Jr.; December 18, 1917 – July 2, 1988) was an American jump blues, jazz, bebop and R&B alto saxophonist and blues shouter. He was nicknamed Cleanhead after an incident in which his hair was accidentally destroyed by lye contained in a hair straightening product, necessitating shaving it off; enamoured of the look, Vinson maintained a shaved head thereafter. Music critic Robert Christgau has called Vinson "one of the cleanest—and nastiest—blues voices you'll ever hear." Vinson's jazz leanings were probably heightened during 1952–1953, when his band included a young John Coltrane. In the late 1960s, touring in a strict jazz capacity with Jay McShann, Vinson's career took an upswing. In the early 1960s Vinson moved to Los Angeles and began working with the Johnny Otis Revue. A 1970 appearance at the Monterey Jazz Festival with Otis spurred a bit of a comeback for Vinson. Throughout the 1970s he worked high-profile blues and jazz sessions for Count Basie, Otis, Roomful of Blues, Arnett Cobb, and Buddy Tate. He also composed steadily, including "Tune Up" and "Four", both of which have been incorrectly attributed to Miles Davis. There is some controversy over who composed "Four"
