Patrice Rushen - Patrice - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of the landmark 1980 album, representing a period of consolidation for Patrice Rushen. Her studio reputation as a go-to pianist and arranger among other artists and musicians was well established and was growing exponentially. Although never originally planning a career as a solo artist, she had built this side of her work through three Prestige albums and two sophisticated soul and disco albums for Elektra. 'I was lucky to have a group of musicians that I knew well by the time of these recording sessions,' remembers Patrice. 'I had my pick of really incredible players because of all of the studio work I was doing. I also played with Lee Ritenour, Harvey Mason and others almost on a weekly basis at The Baked Potato club in L.A.' Album Tracks 1. Never Gonna Give You Up (Won't Let You Be) (Remastered) 2.
