In his review on Allmusic, Ken Dryden states "This very enjoyable session is heartily recommended". [3] All About Jazz said "The possibilities that Inner Urge offers are those, in large part, of bebop. Consistent in his presentation, Coryell remains out front on each tune as a relaxed, unpretentious and brilliant presence ... Inner Urge presents a locked-in group for the joyful exploration of jazz, which drives the inner urge of them all". [4]
All compositions by Larry Coryell except where noted
Larry Coryell was an American jazz guitarist.
"In a Sentimental Mood" is a jazz composition by Duke Ellington. He composed the piece in 1935 and recorded it with his orchestra during the same year. Lyrics were written by Manny Kurtz; Ellington's manager Irving Mills gave himself a percentage of the publishing, so the song was credited to all three. Other popular versions in 1935/36 were by Benny Goodman and by Mills Blue Rhythm Band. The opening notes of the song's melody resemble Gershwin's 1926 "Someone To Watch Over Me".
