Album Notes & Community Reviews
Teaming with visionary producers Larry and Fonce Mizell, flautist Bobbi Humphrey crafted a definitive pillar of the 1970s Blue Note jazz-funk era. 'Blacks and Blues' layers her incredibly airy, melodic flute work atop relentlessly smooth, heavily syncopated soul grooves and cosmic synthesizer sweeps.
