Chien Chien Lu is the Taiwanese vibraphonist whose debut album, “The Path” made huge waves in 2020 with a Downbeat critics poll naming her the “vibraphone rising star”. Richie Goods is the award-winning bassist, whose incredible talent and experience playing with international stars such as Alicia Keys and Common, has secured him a position as the youngest musician to ever be inducted into Philadelphia’s Jazz Hall of Fame.

Opener “Water\/H2O”, featuring acclaimed R\u0026amp;B singer Sy Smith takes that a step further, with Smith’s soulful vocals perfectly complementing a jazz band at the height of their powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t miss what’s sure to be one of the hottest jazz records of the year, complete with an obi-strip, only from P-\u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eVINE\u003c\/span\u003e Records!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eComes with obi-strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eThe second album from Chien Chien Lu!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCollaboration with Philadelphia bassist Richie Goods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e PLP-7950 -Artist-Richie Goods \u0026amp; Chien Chien\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/28\/22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Richie Goods \u0026 Chien Chien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53422640365752,"sku":"KPMVBV-VG3S-8P","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/richie-goods-chien-chien-connected_I945K.jpg?v=1777529720","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/richie-goods-chien-chien-connected","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
