Walking In Space – Jones, Quincy – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Released in 1969, ‘WALKING IN SPACE’ stands as a bold chapter in Quincy Jones’ ever-evolving artistry. Capturing the restless spirit of its era, this album fuses the sophistication of jazz with the audacious energy of funk, soul, and cinematic orchestration. Jones, already a master arranger and producer, uses this record to blur boundaries—transforming familiar standards and contemporary hits into something utterly his own. The title track, originally from the musical ‘Hair’, becomes a sprawling, cosmic exploration in Jones’ hands, while his take on ‘Killer Joe’ and ‘Love and Peace’ showcase a sly, groove-driven wit. The ensemble—featuring jazz luminaries like Freddie Hubbard and Ray Brown—brings fire and finesse to every cut, making each listen a discovery. ‘WALKING IN SPACE’ is not just a collection of songs; it’s a statement of intent from an artist refusing to stand still, challenging the conventions of jazz and paving the way for the genre’s future. For collectors, this album is both a historic milestone and an endlessly rewarding listen—an essential addition for anyone who craves innovation and soul in their vinyl library.
