Satin Doll (Bobbi Humphrey album)

Satin Doll is the fourth studio album by American jazz flautist Bobbi Humphrey recorded in 1974 and released on the Blue Note label.

Reception

Lea Antalin of DownBeat in a 1975 review called it "a disco album" and contemplated "if only there were more flute solos... perhaps next time around."

The AllMusic review by Andrew Hamilton awarded the album 3½ stars stating, "This album isn't as compelling as Blacks and Blues, but is far more impressive than the jazz fusion happening at the same time."
