【音樂介紹】:AllMusic Review by Alex Henderson
When a 20-year-old Patrice Rushen recorded her debut album, Prelusion, in
1974, she was still four years away from becoming a full-time R&B singer.
Instrumental jazz was her main focus, and there was every reason to believe
that she would become a major figure in the jazz world. The L.A. native
showed considerable promise on this entirely instrumental LP, which is best
described as straight-ahead post-bop with fusion references and features
such impressive soloists as tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, trombonist
George Bohanon, and trumpeter Oscar Brashear. Playing both acoustic piano
and electric keyboards, Rushen brings a strong Herbie Hancock influence to
promising originals like "Haw-Right Now," "Shortie's Portion," and "Puttered
Bopcorn." Nonetheless, Rushen was an appealing improviser in her own right,
and one can only speculate on where her career in jazz might have gone had
she not switched to R&B singing in 1978. In 1998, Fantasy reissued Prelusion
and Rushen's second album, Before the Dawn, on a single 77-minute CD;
unfortunately, "Puttered Bopcorn" was deleted due to space limitations.
