Patrice Rushen's Prelusion marks her dazzling debut into the jazz world, originally released in 1974 on Prestige Records and now reissued on vinyl here in 2024. Before her R&B fame, Rushen showcased her talents as a jazz pianist on this album, backed by luminaries like Joe Henderson on saxophone. The record effortlessly blends post-bop with elements of jazz fusion, highlighting Rushen's versatility across acoustic and electric keyboard. Her performances on acoustic piano and electric keyboards reflect a strong influence from Herbie Hancock, evident in tracks such as 'Haw-Right Now' and 'Shortie's Portion.' Despite her shift to R&B in 1978, Prelusion...

The Cornell CC Carter LP finally here! Cornell CC Carter hails from San Francisco, and processes a really soulful voice. His music recalls an earlier age of soul music with a good time feel. His fifth album 'Expressions Of Soul' is one of his strongest to date. 'The Change' is a memorable upper mid tempo 80s style Soulful song that grooves along nicely. 'Everyday' 'Holding Back' 'Its So Nice' and 'Sometimes' (with Brian Power) are good contemporary dancers with a hint of The 80s. The cover of Marvin 'Come Get To This' and the mid tempo floater 'Never Gonna Waste...
