Bobbi Humphrey
Bobbi Humphrey is a jazz flautist who was born in Marlin, Texas and raised in
Dallas. She started playing the flute at school and then graduated from Southern
Methodist University. Following advice from Dizzy Gillespie, who had spotted her
potential, she moved to New York in 1971 and was the first woman signed by the
Blue Note label.
She recorded six albums for Blue Note, with the most popular probably being
1973's 'Blacks and Blues'. Her other Blue Note albums were 'Flute In' (1971),
'Dig This' (1972), 'Satin Doll' (1974), 'Live at Montreux' (1974) and 'Fancy
Dancer' (1975)...
