@@derrickjackson6737 I'm 66yrs old do that made me around 18yrs when I first started digging Bobbie and the whole Byrd Jazz family. Funny I only recently got the lyrics down that always baffled me. " Well the Trip was but, the ride was no where" too cool!
@@derrickjackson6737 Absolutely a Classic period. My Brother from another Mother introduced me to Donald Byrd and from I began to Fly, no pun intended...
It's not a secret that she discovered Tevin Campbell and got him signed. I've heard that certain record company people cut her out. I hope she was fairly compensated for her work. And I'll leave it at that
Well as you know back in the '50s and '60s and also into the '70s jazz while popular was never truly lucrative For the musicians, except for top tier talent like Miles Davis or Bill Evans. Juxtapose that with the idea that blue note if you read their history oftentimes had a hard time paying its artists and yeah you come away with the impression that they probably weren't paid a whole lot. I mean but a lot of sidemen made a set fee for performing on an album, like if Philly Joe Jones played on a Coltrane album, he wasn't paid any royalties or anything for his performance on the album he was simply paid a set fee for being on the album, which if I recall correctly was $200 to $500. Now if we're talking the late '50s 500 bucks was not a bad amount of cash, but you'd have to put out a record every month to make a living at it. That's probably why if you look at the discography of a lot of '50s and '60s jazz musicians even the big names, these guys were putting out three or four albums a year sometimes more, they were probably doing it just to make the money.
Good for her so very happy for Ms. Humphrey and her illustrious career as a Jazz musician ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
