Blue Note

Blue Note is a record label that has made a significant impact in the jazz genre. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, Blue Note focused on traditional jazz and swing recordings, producing timeless classics. In the 1950s, it became one of the first labels to feature bop musicians. After being acquired by *Universal Music Group* in 1965, Blue Note expanded its repertoire to include more commercially-oriented music like jazz-fusion. Throughout the years, Blue Note underwent various changes in ownership and reissue programs but continued to release new recordings and previously unreleased material.

In 1982, Blue Note catalog reissues began appearing on *United Artists Records*, which was owned by Michael Cuscuna who oversaw the UA-era reissue program. The label was later relaunched as part of *Capitol-EMI's* subsidiary *Manhattan Records* in 1985. It was during this time that Blue Note released key albums from its history and introduced previously unissued material.

In 1989, Blue Note became the division under which all of Capitol-EMI's jazz activities were organized. However, two years later, *Manhattan Records* was revived for smooth jazz and pop-jazz releases while Blue Note continued to thrive as a prominent label within Capitol-EMI's roster.

Bobbi Humphrey is an American jazz flautist and composer. Born on 25 April 1950 in Marlin, Texas, USA, she made history as one of the first woman instrumentalists signed to Blue Note Records in 1971. Alongside her successful solo career, Bobbi collaborated with renowned artists such as Duke Ellington, Roy Ayers, and Stevie Wonder.

With a distinctive style that blends soulful melodies and captivating rhythms, Bobbi Humphrey has left an indelible mark on the world of jazz music. Her talent on the flute has earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

Flutist Bobbi Humphrey debuted on Blue Note in 1971 and released a run of six creative and highly enjoyable albums on the label capped by Fancy Dancer in 1975, the flutist’s third collaboration with forward-looking producer Larry Mizell. It proved to be a winning combination once again with Humphrey’s alluring flute dancing through a set that featured standout Mizell compositions like “Uno Esta,” “You Make Me Feel So Good,” and “Please Set Me At Ease.”
