The Meeting is the first album release from a collaboration of musicians R&B keyboardist/singer Patrice Rushen, saxophonist Ernie Watts, bassist Alphonso Johnson and drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler. The recording was the end product of several years of live interaction between the four, often backing other artists.[1] The album is representative of early 1990s jazz fusion. The band recorded a follow-up entitled Update (without Johnson) which was released in 1995 on the Hip-Bop label.[2] Rushen's next solo album was Anything but Ordinary, released in 1994.
