"... (documents) Duke's emergence as a stylistically multifaceted performer, composer and producer of significance ... electric music this was, but it still swung hard and possessed a pop-like but still soulfully jazz complexion ..."
- All About Jazz
In 1971, keyboard wizard George Duke recorded two albums over a short time span, initially issued together in 1973 as a double set and later split into two distinct releases: Solus and this volume, The Inner Source. Duke experiments with different instrumentation on these songs, including Latin percussion and incisive horn and reed instruments. The title track is a masterstroke of quintet dramaturgy, featuring Duke on his first instrument, the trombone. As a curiosity, two basses compete with each other on Twenty-Five while the last piece, Always Constant, is a more open piece that spontaneously unfolded in the studio.
"... looking back, I can really hear a lot of growth in my piano playing ... I almost sound like a different piano player more confident with definitely stronger musical ideas. Boy, did I learn a lot. It seems I was beginning to find my own musical voice!"
- George Duke
