About Patrice Rushen
A singular artist whose work is possessed of both jazz mastery and pop genius, Rushen is among the most beloved and sampled musicians of the modern age. As journalist Nate Chinen wrote in his Festival review: "The festival culminated in a euphoric stand by Patrice Rushen, who peppered her set with hits but also radiant musicianship... [her] keytar solo formed a delirious coda to “Forget My Nots,” the inevitable encore. The radiant extroversion in her show made for a perfect culmination to the weekend, as a packed house cheered, sang and swayed in time."
