SUMMARY:Patti Austin
DESCRIPTION:PATTI AUSTIN \nNOVEMBER 20 \, 2021 \n6:00 pm & 8:30 PM \nSince breaking through to solo success in the mid 1970s\, Grammy winner Patti Austin has become one of the world’s most popular and versatile vocalists. In the past decade\, it is in the world of jazz (a genre that is close to her heart) that Ms. Austin has been building a solid international audience. \nThe New York native is in constant demand globally for live performances\, thanks to a legacy of recordings that started in 1955; she continued through the ‘60s with success as a teenage R&B star before establishing herself as a mainstay among jazz and soul audiences through her ‘70s recordings. By the ‘80s Ms. Austin became known to the wider international audience as a result of the Grammy -nominated “Baby Come to Me” and “How Do You Keep the Music Playing”\, her early ‘80s classic duets with James Ingram\, masterminded by musical godfather Quincy Jones. \nUnquestionably a 21st century renaissance woman\, Patti Austin continues to create milestones in an incredible career; a further testament to her status as a member of that rare breed: a true artist whose creativity knows no limits.
