Title Note

This excellent compilation covers a good portion of singer Alberta Hunter's early career, bringing together recordings made between 1927 and 1946. Unlike the deeply textured sound that would typify the artist's later singing, Hunter's style on these early cuts can be characterized as smooth, sweet, and firmly in the tradition of the era's black female crooners. Hunter was influenced equally by jazz, blues, and popular song, and her music reflects all of these impulses. As a result, Hunter appealed to black and white audiences both in America and abroad (Hunter lived as an expatriate in Europe during much of this time).

VOL. 4 of Document Record's chronological survey of Hunter's music focuses on her small-group recordings. While Hunter can often be heard fronting large ensembles (as on her outstanding recordings with Fletcher Henderson), she was equally forceful in duet, trio, and quartet settings. The singer can be heard here accompanied by Fats Waller on piano (several tracks feature Hunter performing solo with Waller, and/or with the addition of a guitarist). Pianist Lil Armstrong and trumpeter Charlie Shavers are also present for renditions of Hunter's own "Downhearted Blues" and other classics.
