Pizzazz 4 U

I could set up a whole side blog (someone has to have a better term for that somewhere - let me know if you find it) focusing solely on the output of Patrice Rushen and a where are they now? sort of trace through of how her samples have steered the course of western civilization in the last twenty years or so, but for today I'll just say go see Men in Black, and check out these couple of tunes from her 1979 album Pizzazz:



Patrice Rushen - Haven't You Heard (1979) (buy)



Patrice Rushen - Let The Music Take Me (1979) (buy)

P.S. for people in the LA CA, Patrice graduated from the Thornton School at USC. Pizzazz on.
