Bobbi Humphrey takes creative control on her Epic debut — and she pulls it off. No Mizell Brothers this time; instead she’s working with Skip Scarborough, and the result is a slicker, more soulful sound that still has her flute doing exactly what it needs to do. “Lover to Lover,” “Dancin’ to Keep from Cryin’,” and the closer “Fajehzo” are the standouts. Santa Maria pressing with orange Epic labels — a first pressing. Worth picking up if you’ve already got the Blue Note run and want the full picture.
Genre: Jazz / Funk / Soul
Year: 1977
Label: Epic Records — PE 34704
Country: US
Condition: Media: VG / Sleeve: VG
Notes: Santa Maria pressing. Light surface noise on media. Ringwear on sleeve.
