For her entire career, Patti Austin (who began singing at age five!) has explored the overlapping 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.
