Customer Reviews:
quincy jones used to be a jazzer-this CD proves it!.......2000-12-05
Although most know Quincy Jones as a pop music producer of limited merit (michael jackson, et. al), he began his career working with such seminal figures as Ray Charles and Count Basie. I first heard the cut 'killer joe' from this recording as a theme song by a local jazz d.j. who also used to play the title track 'walking in space' quite a bit. Well, this recording features a who's who of jazz soloists like Freddie Hubbard and Hubert Laws (reminicent of the better CTI albums of the late 70s early 80s) along with stalwarts like the under-rated late guitarist Eric Gale, who gets extensive solo space here. But most unusual (and definitely happening!) is the guest appearance by none other than Rahsaan Roland Kirk (!) playing saxophones on the title track. If you like cool arrangements, major swinging grooves (courtesy of bassist Ray Brown, who absolutely burns throughout, and impeccible drummer Grady Tate), great solos, atmospheric female backing vocals (title track), a great version of a true jazz standard (the aforementioned 'killer joe'), this CD is right for you. I used to have this on vinyl and found the CD version by chance here at amazon.com. At this price you can't go wrong. ENJOY!
