Walking in Space Reviews
| 14 of 16 people found the following review helpful  Essential to every music collection., By Andy Williamson (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews This review is from: Walking in Space (Audio CD) Walkin' In Space is Jones' tour de force-a monster of an album that still has feet tapping and heads bobbing after thirty wonderful funk-inflected-jazz years. I have been building my jazz collection since the mid-90's and now have close to 200 jazz albums. My love for jazz began with THIS disc, er, record I should say.Hearing this album is one of my earliest memories. My dad would play it on his turntable and I remember singing along with some of the tunes. This album is infectious. When I learned that it was released on CD I immediately picked it up; throwing my cassette version in the trash as I walked out the door to the cd shop. What a perfect mix of 'mainstream' (read: hard-bop) jazz and electrified funk/soul ala the wonderful guitar playing of Eric Gale and bassist Ray Brown.

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...

Q's Walking in Space was one of the first jazz records I listened to, on 8-track tape. It was then, and always has been one of my very favorite jazz recordings. Highly recommended! |
