The Inner Source arrived on the market as a double LP in 1971, after an initial plan to release two single LPs, namely SOLUS and The Inner Source . Both recordings were made in the same year, shortly after George Duke had left Frank Zappa's band and taken over the place of Joe Zawinul in the Cannonball Adderley Quintet. They are considered to be true highlights of Duke's work, an act of musical release with an audibly rapid development both on the keys and as a band leader. And as an added tidbit, you can hear Duke playing the trombone on an album for definitely the last time!
The recordings are now available in unprecedented sound quality. The original analogue recordings from 1971 form the basis of Christoph Stickel's unobtrusive "refurbishing" which aims to avoid any artistic intervention. You, the valued listener, will be transported back into the sound engineer's chair at the time of recording.

Excellent
If you are a truely knowledgable George Duke fan you probably know that 'The Inner Source',while released as a double album is actually two seperate recordings. The first album is an album called 'Solus' and when George's label didn't release George combined it as a double set with his 1971 recording 'The Inner Source' and viola'!This project was born!
