2011 album from the Jazz vocalist. Sound Advice is a concept that Patti feels very deeply, and it shows in her music. Together with the brilliant keyboards and producer Greg Phillinganes, Patti takes on some of your all-time favorite classics and does them in ways that you never could imagine.

Patti Austin is the US-born R&B and jazz singer who topped the charts with “Baby Come to Me” in 1982. She has also provided her vocal talents to the industry’s best including Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson.

At the age of 5, Austin was performing on stage and had a record deal with RCA. Her teenage years were spent as a session singer, and she was 19 before she entered the chart as a solo performer, with “Family Tree” in 1969. It was another seven years until she released her debut album, End of a Rainbow. Since then, she has had a steady schedule of solo releases, with highlights including The Real Me and Love is Gonna Getcha. Her most recent album, 2007’s Avant Gershwin, was awarded the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album.

In tandem with her solo career, she sang with Michael Jackson on the Off the Wall album, and also with George Benson, Roberta Flack and Luther Vandross. Her most successful collaboration was with James Ingram and “Baby Come to Me”: the track, from Austin’s Every Home Should Have One, topped the US Hot 100 charts in 1982.

And how! Austin tackles standards such as "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "They Can't Take That Away from Me," and succeeds brilliantly. Her version of Comden, Green, and Bernstein's "I Can Cook, Too" is enough by itself to make this a pick. ---William Ruhlmann, Rovi

I have often thought that Patti Austin was my own personal treasure, the misguided attempts of record companies to package her as a R&B sexpot or Disco Diva were so wrong. She is a Singer and all she needs is a song and an arrangement and she soars!Well she also can handle songs as divergent as the Zydeco tinged "Across the Alley from the Alamo" with its toe tapping infectious fun to Standards like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and the very difficult "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most". I listen to this CD over and over and buy it for my friends. I highly recommend it to lovers of music of any genre. She is a treasure! ---Bill McFadden, amazon.com

For her entire career, Patti Austin (who began singing at age five!) has explored the overl Intimate Patti Austin draws mainly from 1981's Every Home Should Have One, 1985's Gettin' Away with Murder, 1988's The Real Me, and 1990's Love Is Gonna Getcha, with detours into the singer's appearances on Sadao Watanabe's Front Seat and Quincy Jones' From Q with Love. Only a couple tracks date later than 1990, and since nothing predates Every Home, there's plenty of fitting material left out, especially some highlights -- like "Say You Love Me," "That's Enough for Me," and "Body Language" -- from her three CTI studio albums. Nonetheless, this Austin comp has its own character and legitimate reasons for existing, even though you'd be hard-pressed to form a comp with songs that aren't intimate. The top highlights include "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)," "Summer Is the Coldest Time of Year," and -- of course -- the quiet storm classic "Baby, Come to Me." Some listeners are bound to have issues with any number of the production styles here, but Austin's performances always shine through. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

Frapping areas between jazz, R&B, and pop, with the main constant being her earnest, heartfelt, and engaging vocals. INTIMATE collects Austin tracks from previous albums EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE, THE REAL ME, GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER, and LOVE IS GONNA GETCHA, covering the years 1981to 1990, as well as appearances alongside Quincy Jones and Japanese sax wizard Sadao Watenabe. This set presents Austin in a healthy variety of studio contexts.
