Quincy Jones showed the music world he was about more than Jazz alone with this one. After playing in the bands of Count Basie, Dizzie Gillespie and others, and writing for Basie, Sinatra, movie scores and anything else you could name, he pulled off a musical fusion with "Walking In Space" which was unheard of before. (With the number of musicians and level of talent here, we probably won't see it again, either...). "Dead End" and "Walking In Space" are respects to the musical "Hair" (don't forget, this was done in '69), then there's Benny Golson's infectious swinger, "Killer Joe," Arthur Adams' "Love and Peace," Johnny Mandel's movie theme, "I Never Told You" and the kicker is Edwin Hawkins' handclapping gospel hit, "Oh, Happy Day!"

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!
