Easily my favorite LP from her, some of Mizell's best production for sure. I'm selling ALL of my jazz/funk/soul/hip hop wax including an orig Bobbi Humphrey - Fancy Dancer LP if anyone is interested...hit me up!
Damn...I used to zone out on this joint back when I was fifteen years old. Bobbi Humphrey, Mahuvishnu Orchestra, Donald Byrd and the Black Byrds, Gary Bartz and Andy Bey, Mandrill, Minnie, Chicago, I could go on and on. I am so glad I came up when good music was just that - Good music.
@mkfjr1983 , there are still so many great artist out here fam. They just don't get the air play. Check out Esperanza Spalding. After you check her out I've got a few more for you.
@nubonyx Funny you mention Ms. Spalding. I actually found out about her by accident, if you will, when I was downloading something else. I enjoy her jazz VERY much so...
Man back in the day I made an 8 track with this and "The Trip" and Idris Mohammand's "Turn this mutha Out" and some other tunes and my friends couldn't get enough of it. Wish I could locate that 8track. Good times good feelings!!!
i was 16 when this came out. donald byrd and the blackbyrds were hot back then as well.brings back great memories of my youth in the summers of the funky 70's. thanks for the post
I KNOW you had to do some serious digging in your closet I hadn't heard this in YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody remeber radio station WRVR in NY
Ahhh, the Mizzell boys at it again! What a great track this was. Their sound was undeniable. I miss them so much. Thank God for all the wonderful collaborations with the Donald Byrd, Bobbi, and the other Blue Note artists from the 70s.
awesome. The Mizell Brothers style always so refreshing . Donald byrd, Johnny hammond, Bobbi humphrey AND Gary bartz all made quality Memorable lp's using their talents. My favourite track from this lp? ''PLEASE SET ME AT EASE''.
yesterdays new quintet covered this

@Gil1976 it's been sampled by Madlib. He's done a ton of work from Blue Note.
