It is highly regarded as a monumental album, blending various genres such as jazz, soul, and pop, and created with a stellar lineup of musicians. "Walking in Space" showcases Quincy Jones's arrangements and conducting to the fullest extent, under the production of Creed Taylor. It was a crucial work that led the way just before the era of crossover jazz and fusion in America. The first two tracks, "Dead End" and "Walking in Space," are covers from the musical "Hair," featuring a fantastical atmosphere and vocals by Valerie Simpson. The skillful "casting" of selecting the best musicians for each song has been inherited in Quincy Jones's subsequent works. This album is described as "easy listening jazz" while simultaneously being a pioneer of later fusion jazz and crossover sound. Quincy Jones's diverse musicality, excellent arranging skills, and his "eye for selecting people" as a producer are highly praised. It is considered a masterpiece that symbolizes Quincy Jones's versatility and musical ambition, and allows you to feel his strong roots in jazz.
