Product Description

Featuring James Ingram, Kirk Whalum, David Foster, Bob James, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and Dave Grusin
With a voice that is capable of convincingly interpreting virtually any style of material, Patti Austin is one of the most astoundingly gifted singers of her generation. Here Patti caresses twelve timeless melodies with great sensitivity and emotional depth, taking the listener on a warmly romantic journey.

From her wonderful version of the classic Stylistics hit Stop, Look, Listen to the first recording of the now standard Ivan Lins/Alan & Marilyn Bergman gem The Island, this collection takes the listener through the many passionate feelings of love found, lost, and renewed. Also featuring a superb version of Patti s own In My Life and a swooning take on Cry Me A River from her wonderful collection of standards, The Real Me. With Patti Austin s latest release Avant Gershwin currently heating up the jazz charts, there is renewed interest in her work, and Intimate Patti Austin presents a perfect overview of this remarkable artist s tender side.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most incredibly gifted and talented but criminally underrated songstresses of our time., October 4, 2007

Patti Austin is undeniably one of the best and most incredibly talented songstresses of our time--unfortunately, she has never gotten the recognition or respect due an artist of her vocal greatness. This compilation focuses on the ever-beautiful Quiet Storm ballads she recorded for the Qwest, Warner Bros. and GRP labels from 1981-95. This is music that will warm and nourish the heart, soul and spirit from an artist who has never made a bad album. If you are tired of today's trite, uninspired and tune-less so-called "urban" R&B then you'll love this anthology of REAL MUSIC from a TRUE R&B and Jazz DIVA. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Patti In All Of Her Greatest!, January 23, 2010

Patti Austin, and of course Jean Carn and Phyllis Hyman have got to be some of the greatest unsung heroes of all time when it comes to female vocalists. This CD offers you a chance to sit back and truly pay homage to someone that has been gracing us all with her melodic voice for decades. You always here her on someone else's CD just to make them sound better. Now you can hear her in all of the glory that God poured into her. I highly recommend this CD to you. The sound quality is excellent and the choice of songs is also. I bought it JUST TO HEAR PATTI.
