T. Honda - What's Going On - LP

What's Going On — LP

The impossibly cool 1973 album from the late, great Japanese funk and jazz pianist Takehiro Honda, What's Going On swings through jazz-orchestral renditions of American R&B and funk classics — Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" and more — turning them into down-home, grits-'n'-gravy grooves. Alongside covers of the Impressions, Eddie Harris and The Crusaders sits Honda's own composition "Ain't Tell You a Good Way But." Original copies regularly change hands for eye-watering sums, and the album is a much-loved classic of its era.
