Jazz Straight Up carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Patrice Rushen energies, virtually a rebirth. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Patrice Rushen’s album Jazz Straight Up falls to No. 2 with 399,000, a sales slide of 86%. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
Charming song, great melody. Salt Peanuts is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. When I listen to I Mean You in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Now’s The Time one of the best in my collection. Take Five is nothing but pure genius. Jeru is the amazing blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Album opener Manteca is a bright, upbeat ditty. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Patrice Rushen. Perdido - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem.
