Saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr.’s instrumental take on Marvin Gaye’s “Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" is the title track of his debut album. Opening with a siren-accented soulful simmer, Washington and his tight ensemble steadily build the tune into a potent jam, with Washington’s sax wailing urgently over top. Soul, sensitivity, inventiveness and finesse – Washington had it all and it’s amply in evidence here.
