Inner Cry Blues is an album by trombonist and composer Grachan Moncur III. It was recorded in February 2007, and was released by Lunar Module Records later that year. On the album, Moncur is accompanied by saxophonist Mitch Marcus, trumpeter Erik Jekabson, vibraphonist Ben Adams, bassist Lukas Vesely, and drummer Sameer Gupta.[1][2] Issued three years after Exploration, it was Moncur's second album following a lengthy hiatus, during which he wrote, taught, and dealt with dental issues.[3]
Four of the six tracks are dedicated to major jazz figures: "G Train" to Duke Ellington, "A for Pops" to Louis Armstrong, "Blue Rondo" to Jackie McLean, and "Sonny's Back!" to Sonny Rollins.[4]
