About Bobbi Humphrey

Bobbi Humphrey is a jazz flautist whose musical tastes lean toward fusion and smooth jazz-pop. From the outset of her career, Humphrey was quite popular, winning a large crossover audience with her pop-oriented jazz fusion. Throughout her career, her popularity exceeded her critical acclaim, but she received high marks for her technique and showmanship. Her smooth blend of jazz, funk, and R&B fit in well with the '70s sound of Blue Note. Audiences stayed with Humphrey for decades, buying her records and attending her concerts from the Montreux Festival to Carnegie Hall. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
