Patchwork ~ France


Ouvertures (1978)

Patchwork's sole album is very much a product of the time and place. Tropical, light, and breezy fusion all played professionally, and with the requisite sax and flute leads. Of course any self-respecting fusion band must add some funk as well. It was 1978 after all and was the prudent commercial thing to do! One could considered this to be a proto smooth jazz album. For some this is going to be a cringe worthy album, but for me, the high melodic content makes this title a good listen. These type of albums have aged well for me.

Ownership: 1978 Cobra (LP). Gatefold

No reissues exist as I update this post (2/22/25).
