Patti Austin - In My Life (1983) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords 


Patti Austin (born August 10, 1950) is an American R&B, pop, and jazz singer and songwriter. 
After singing on Quincy Jones's album The Dude, she signed a contract with his record label, Qwest, which released Every Home Should Have One with "Baby, Come to Me", a duet with James Ingram that became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard magazine pop chart.

Austin was signed to the jazz-oriented label CTI in 1976, thanks to contacts with industry veteran Creed Taylor and Belafonte's former musical director Bill Eaton. 
The four albums Austin recorded for CTI helped to raise her profile in the industry and were widely appreciated by the architects of the "Quiet Storm" turn that black popular music took in the early 1980s. One of the albums, Havana Candy, was reissued in 1997 and favorably reviewed by Down Beat. 
The magazine pointed to "Austin's appreciation of the jazz legacy as well as her love of various pop styles."
"In My Life" is one of Patti Austin's most overlooked albums, Quincy Jones was absent for this one, but in this case it hardly makes this album bad. 
Featuring a long and distinguished list of guest personnel including Dave Grusin, The Brecker Brothers, Eric Gale and Joe Farrell, these great talents, along with Austin's unmistakable voice, make this one of the most robust of her many albums. 
Though it's a bit cover-heavy, the cover songs are done beautifully, and on this album Patti Austin easily makes classics like "Iko, Iko," "More Today Than Yesterday" and "We've Got Tonight" her own. The upbeat "I Can't Stop" and the lush "Body Language" are also great.
