About
Blackstone Legacy is the debut studio album by Woody Shaw, released in 1971. It was recorded on December 8 and 9, 1970, at A & R Studios (New York City). Moved by the highly charged political sensibilities among creative artists during the latter part of the 1960s and early 1970, Shaw's message for Blackstone Legacy spoke to the social and political ills of his time. In the liner notes to Blackstone Legacy, Shaw states: “This album is dedicated to the youth who will benefit mankind. To the youth who are constantly aware of the turmoil in which the world is and who are trying to right all these wrongs – whether in music or in speech or in any other way of positive work. This album is dedicated to the freedom of Black people all over the world. And it’s dedicated to the people in the ghettos here. The ‘stone’ in the title is the image of strength. I grew up in a ghetto – funky house, rats and roache, stinking hallway. I’ve seen all of that, and I’ve seen people overcome all of that. This music is meant to be a light of hope, a sound of strength and of coming through. It’s one for the ghetto. .
