Bobbi Humphrey Quartet (Live)

Doors 7.00pm

Legend Alert!

She has been named First Lady of the Flute by the critics and listeners alike and, from the accomplishments in her musical career, deservedly so. For three decades now, Bobbi Humphrey has been playing her special brand of music to audiences around the world.

Early encounters with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington inspired her musical career and she was soon releasing a string of albums on Blue Note in the 1970s, quickly finding an individual and soulful style. She appeared as a guest artist on Stevie Wonder’s Songs In The Key Of Life album and has consistently been cited as one of the most influential flute players of her time, with her work extensively sampled by later artists.

Opening for Humphrey on the 12th is bassist and singer Yolanda Charles and her group THE DEEP MO, an effortlessly funky performer whose credits include stints with Paul Weller, Carleen Anderson and Robbie Williams. Delivering tight, driving soulful grooves, her six piece band features Robert Mitchell on keys, Scott Firth on guitar, Nigel Hancock on saxophones, Valerie Etienne on vocals and long-term playing and writing partner Miles Bould on drums.
