Inner City Blues is the debut studio album by saxophonist Grover Washington Jr.[1] It was recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in September 1971 and released in 1972 via Kudu Records label.[2]
Background
The title track was a cover of the recent hit by Marvin Gaye released in June 1971. The album also includes a cover of Bill Withers' hit "Ain't No Sunshine", released shortly before recording this album. In 2008, it was reissued on CD by Verve Records.
Reception
Thom Jurek of AllMusic stated "This is an amazing debut in so many ways, and it was followed by a run of albums for the label through the end of the '70s when Washington left for Elektra. Inner City Blues remains standing today as a landmark and a turning point in jazz".[3]
