Rushen’s electric piano and keyboards sit alongside the fluid saxophone of Joe Henderson, giving the track a distinctly funky but sophisticated jazz feel. It became a favourite with jazz-dance and rare-groove DJs, thanks to its tight rhythm section and long, groove-focused arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eB-Side – Kickin’ Back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Kickin’ Back” moves further into chunky jazz-funk territory. Originally issued in 1976 as an early 12-inch single and later appearing on Rushen’s Before the Dawn album, the track is driven by a deep rhythm section, funky keyboard work and a laid-back but highly danceable groove. It is a great example of Rushen’s ability to bridge the worlds of jazz, funk and the emerging jazz-dance scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLegacy \u0026amp; Influence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 7-inch brings together two key examples of Patrice Rushen’s early jazz-funk work. Long before her later crossover success with tracks such as “Forget Me Nots,” Rushen was developing a sound that combined sophisticated jazz musicianship with powerful, DJ-friendly grooves. The BGP reissue makes both tracks available in a compact 7-inch format, retaining the full-length versions rather than reducing them to short edits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Funkadoobian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54984475345233,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/9850\/9393\/files\/Patrice_RUSHEN_Haw_Right_Now_f.jpg?v=1789492356","url":"https:\/\/thefunkadoobian.com\/products\/patrice-rushen-haw-right-now-kickin-back","provider":"The Funkadoobian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
