Harvey Mason - What's Goin On

[atrest503]

One of the first jazz albums I bought as a young lady back in the day...thank you for this memory.

[BadTanLines]

0:48-0:49 I was reborn. Hot shit. They dont make em like this any more =-(

An allstar cast on Harveys album. Reminds me of my dear departed friend Raymond Jones coming to my house with his mac and interface boxes to lay some drum tracks right over tunes then take them home and mix.PRICELESS.

[TheGroovemaster22]

Brings back so many memories...all star ensemble of musicians! thanks for posting!

Bad 2 the bone. I was 16 living in Saginaw Mi.

[TheCalebson]

So wonderful!

Man, I forgot Harvey Mason did solo studio albums. It featured the artists he played alongside on George Benson's "Breezin'". Add Bob James, Dave Grusin, Verdine White, Lee Ritenour, Tom Scott, David T. Walker, Victor Fieldman, Louis Johnson, Steve Forman and the Tower Of Power Horns into the mix and you've got one BAD kickass Album.

George and Harvey, most brilliant time.

This reminds me of the GREAT Robbie Vincent radio show on Radio London, and he made the comment I still remember today.. "What on Earth are Arista records doing putting this track on the B side of the single? It is so classy, it could put a jazz-funk record at No.1for the first time ever! It should be the A side!"

What a gorgeous piece of musiciabship this is!

[jszisson]

This is some tight stuff.

[KalimbaSpirit]

I'll never get tired of this. Brings me back when I was only twelve. I had this album and GB's "Weekend in LA"

[georgeman2468]

Proper music. Not like the X factor type shit we all have to endure these days :(

[phase901]

One of the greatest guitar solos ever done by Geaorge Benson! Iremember hearing this inTrenton NJ when it came out. I think they played it on Trenton State radio. I was mesmerized by this ! That was back in '77 ! I'd love to see a video of GB's soloin

at the end.

@phase901 great solo yes, but his solo on California Dreaming is AWESOOOME

[COLOisCOOL]

@phase901 A fabulous Marvin Gaye song performed by some of the best performers.

[donahue478]

This is exhilirating!

[COLOradoisCOOL]

@TheRestlesswind AMEN. YOU SAID IT PERFECTLY and YOU ARE SO RIGHT!

[sabisabiwa]

Harvey is my favorite drummer. He can play anything!

[klassworksmusic]

Wonderful version of a great song !

[pretorious700]

Mna I played the shit out of this album back in the day....great version

[4444nomad]

How funny that there are no youtube vandals with their swearing etc next to the tracks like this. Divine job enjoys divine protection ;)

[4444nomad]

a masterpiece, maybe even better than the original ...

@ottolight

i would be more than happy to listen to this tune and stuff like that in an airport nowadays, it would lift me higher than the plane could.

this version is incredible and benson's solo super classe. there is not a single note to be critisized on. a piece like carved in stone

[pukkie2310]

Totally agree.

[surzen]

Such a beautiful version, and one of George Benson's finest solos.

[donahue478]

reminds me of my teenage years smoking weed and relaxining in saginaw mi.i was very deep and smooth just like this cut.

[trademark1874]

U welcome Buddy. Love this version too, among other versions like Quincys, that i really appreciate.

[richmondpp]

Awesome,awesome awesome.

Love this track haven't listened to it for years, bought this album around 79 when i was just a kid, this was my favourite on the album ,still sounds just as fresh.

Bensons guitar just lifts this track to another level.

Thanks for posting

+1. It's Harvey Mason's album; but GB simply owns this version.
