Title: What's Goin' On
Review: As far as I know,this is the only CD with Q's full 10 min. version of "What's Goin' On"(notice that's the only track not avialable as an mp3). Great arrangement,even overlooking Q's vocal(he ain't Marvin Gaye,but he ain't as bad as A&M's Herb Alpert or Burt Bacharach). Toots Thielmans does some interesting work with guitar,harmonica(even whistling)and later Harry Lookofsky mimics Toots' harmonica solo via a string section. A true all-star lineup-Freddie Hubbard,Hubert Laws,Jerome Richardson,Pete Christlieb,Snooky Young,Milt Jackson,Jim Hall,Grady Tate,Ray Brown,Carol Kaye-even Jimmy smith is a sideman in this group. Dated from it's 1970's sound?-yeah,a bit,and that is part of the charm. But Marvin's anti-war lyrics are needed to be heard again.
