Fancy Dancer

Fancy Dancer

On the heels of the recent Droppin' Science compilation, and to the delight of crate-diggers everywhere, come these treasures from deep in the Blue Note vaults. The artists featured here created soulful, and funkified sounds that decades later became the source of grooves, vamps, and beats for today's most heralded DJs and hip-hop producers, from Jay-Z to Beastie Boys to The Roots...On Fancy Dancer, Flutist Bobbi Humphrey was a Duke-and-Dizzy approved, straight-ahead player when she inked with Blue Note in 1971 during the label's crushed velvet groove era. This is her final Blue Note album. Complete is her soul jazz-transformation via the fly, white-gloved production of the Mizell Brothers.
