The Curtis Counce Group (later released as Landslide) is an album by American jazz bassist Curtis Counce recorded in 1956 and released on the Contemporary label. [1]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "All of Counce's recordings (which include a slightly later album for Dootone) are well worth getting by collectors interested in 1950s straight-ahead jazz. This disc is an excellent place to start". [2]

Leroy Vinnegar was an American jazz bassist. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, the self-taught Vinnegar established his reputation in Los Angeles, California, during the 1950s and 1960s. His trademark was the rhythmic "walking" bass line, a steady series of ascending or descending notes, and it brought him the nickname "The Walker". Besides his jazz work, he also appeared on a number of soundtracks and pop albums, notably Van Morrison's 1972 album, Saint Dominic's Preview.
