In collaboration with San Jose Jazz Summerfest we present this special episode to celebrate the music of Patrice Rushen who will be featured on their main stage Sunday Aug 13th @ 4pm. Click here for more information

I was a fan of Patrice Rushen first through her hit records “Forget me Knots” & “You Remind Me” but later learned that she was originally a jazz musician and had several releases on the Prestige label as a bandleader and also played on many sessions including records with Donald Byrd, Lee Ritenour, Bennie Maupin + more.

Tracklist:

Patrice Rusen - Before the Dawn (Prestige) 1974

Gentle Thoughts - Feel Like Makin' Love

Bennie Maupin - You Know the Deal

Patrice Rushen - Haw Right Now

Donald Byrd - Onward till Morning
