With explosive arrangements and an all-star lineup, this album blends jazz, funk, and orchestral brilliance in a way only Q can deliver. Featuring unforgettable renditions of \"\u003cem\u003eDead End\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eKiller Joe\u003c\/em\u003e,\" this remastered 180g vinyl reissue captures the groundbreaking energy that made this album a staple of the late ’60s jazz scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe protean Quincy Jones returned to the recording studio as a leader after a long stretch in Hollywood with this triumphantly contemporary big band album. He re-established himself firmly with his big band jazz base while casting a keen eye on the pop scene and the world of electric instruments (even Ray Brown is caught playing superb electric bass here). Laid out is his uncanny ability to attract the biggest names in jazz as sidemen: such as \u003cstrong\u003eFreddie Hubbard\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRoland Kirk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eHubert Laws\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJ.J. Johnson\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKai Winding\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJimmy Cleveland\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eJerome Richardson\u003c\/strong\u003e. For jazz buffs, the long, dramatic title track from the then-raging musical \u003cem\u003eHair\u003c\/em\u003e is a highlight; Hubbard positively sizzles on muted trumpet, and the brash Kirk blasts through the grooving rhythm section under heavy reverb. There’s some in-the-pocket drumming from \u003cstrong\u003eBernard Perdie\u003c\/strong\u003e on two of the six tracks, Jones' classic, swaggering arrangement of \u003cstrong\u003eBenny Golson\u003c\/strong\u003e’s ‘\u003cem\u003eKiller Joe\u003c\/em\u003e’, and a rendition of \u003cstrong\u003eEdwin Hawkins\u003c\/strong\u003e' freak hit ‘\u003cem\u003eOh Happy Day\u003c\/em\u003e’ that bursts with wit and sheer joy. This is one of the great peaks of \u003cstrong\u003eCreed Taylor\u003c\/strong\u003e's \u003cstrong\u003eA\u0026amp;M\u003c\/strong\u003e period, and is a perfect blend of all the hippest currents that were cooking up in the scene at the time.  \u003cbr\u003e                     \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decca","offers":[{"title":"LP - Deluxe 180g Vinyl","offer_id":54611925107033,"sku":"SDZ-28912","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Quincy_Jones_-_Walking_In_Space__Remastered__-_2025_Reissue.jpg?v=1747679767","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/quincy-jones-walking-in-space-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
