Music reviews of Walking in Space

Music Review: Grammy Winner/ Sure Winner !
Rating: 5 Stars

Like its successor, "Smackwater Jack," this album is a veritable "Who's Who?" of contemporary jazz and studio musicians. Quincy got such luminaries as Freddie Hubbard, Snooky Young, Hubert Laws, J.J. Johnson, Kai Winding, Jimmy Cleveland, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Hubert Laws, Jerome Richardson, Grady Tate, Bob James, Ray Brown, Chuck Rainey, Eric Gale and Valerie Simpson (later, 1/2 of Ashford & Simpson). The original issue on A&M was produced by Creed Taylor, who had established a reputation for producing BIG sessions with ALL the right people ( and apparently, megabucks budgets to match...). The album was an instant SMASH, won the Grammy for "Best Jazz Instrumental" (If I recall correctly, they even had to invent a new category for this record at the Grammy's) and still is GREAT FUN for listening today. The digital remaster for compact disc was done well, too, making for a fine addition to your library. Get this and "Smackwater Jack" to own the essential "Quintessential" recordings of the 70's from Quincy Jones. Having THIS man's best is a little cut above most of the others...ENJOY!
