One of Blue Note’s pioneering female instrumentalists, Bobbi Humphrey employed the Mizell Brothers production team to spice up her sound (and album sales) for a stellar run of albums that culminated in Fancy Dancer, her fifth and final studio album for the label. Close in sound to Blacks and Blues and Satin Doll, Fancy Dancer is the most sophisticated of the bunch, blending smooth jazz, Latin grooves and psychedelic soul flourishes with silky vocal hooks. Throughout, Humphrey’s felicitous flutework and wispy vocals shine through like a sunbeam on park grass.
