Alberta Hunter - Songs We Taught Your Mother '2019

Tracks list

Although Alberta Hunter, who had briefly come out of retirement, gets first
billing on this CD reissue, in reality she shares the spotlight with two other
veterans of the 1920s: Lucille Hegamin and Victoria Spivey. Each of the singers
is featured on four songs apiece while backed by such top players as clarinetist
Buster Bailey, trombonist J.C. Higginbottham, and Cliff Jackson or Willie The
Lion Smith on piano. Hunter is in superior form on such numbers as You Gotta
Reap Just What You Sow and I Got a Mind to Ramble, although she would soon be
out of music for another 15 years, continuing her work as a nurse. Hegamin (who
had not recorded since 1932) was having a brief last hurrah, despite sounding
good, and Spivey, reviving her Black Snake Blues, would soon be launching her
own Spivey label. This is a historic and enjoyable set recommended to both
classic jazz and blues collectors.
