The second release In the new series of classic jazz/funk reissues from SoulMusic.com Records is an expanded edition of the original 1978 Epic album FREESTYLE by famed flautist and musician Bobbi Humphrey.
Texas-born Bobbi was initially encouraged by jazz great Dizzy Gillespie to pursue a musical career: after winning the famous Apollo Theater Amateur Talent contest in New York, she became a popular performer in the city.
In 1971, Bobbi signed with Blue Note Records and made six albums for the label. In 1977, Bobbi signed with Epic Records who released her label debut Tailor Made the same year.
Bobbi s sophomore Epic album FREESTYLE was the most successful of her LPs for the label. Produced by renowned percussionist Ralph MacDonald, FREESTYLE s stellar cast of musicians includes Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Anthony Jackson, David Spinozza and Marcus Miller with background vocals from Gwen Guthrie among others. No less a luminary than Stevie Wonder provides a solo on the funky track, Home Made Jam.
Notes by Soul Music.com founder David Nathan include 2011 quotes from Bobbi.
Only available before as a Japanese CD reissue, this expanded edition includes a six-minute-plus version of Home Made Jam and the USsingle edit of Sunset Burgundy (written by MarcusMiller).
