About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Jazz
- Description: Born in 1895, and having been an early blues innovator in the 1920s, Alberta Hunter became a living link to the jazz-age and stars like Bessie Smith, Paul Robeson and Ma Rainey. In the late '50s she started a second career as a nurse, and mostly retired from music, but by the mid-70s was lured back to live performance. In 1981, at age 85, she recorded this live set at a New York cabaret called The Cookery. Hunter was still sharp-as-a-tack; her sassy stage patter, interactions with the band and audience, and vocalizing are filled with percussive energy, knowing phrasings and deep experience and wisdom. Singing with accompaniment from Gerald Cook (piano, arrangements) and Jimmy Lewis (bass), Hunter covers standards that she wrote (and as she noted, was still collecting royalties on) as well as a selection of standards from other authors of the great American songbook Album Tracks 1. My Castle's Rockin' 2. The Love I Have for You 3. I Got Rhythm 4. Downhearted Blues 5. Time Waits for No One 6. I'm Havin' a Good Time 7. Two-Fisted Double-Jointed Rough and Ready Man 8. The Dark Town Strutter's Ball 9. Sometimes I'm Happy 10. I've Got a Mind to Ramble 11. Old Fashioned Love 12. You Can't Tell the Difference After Dark 13. Remember My Name 14. When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles with You) 15. Georgia on My Mind 16. Handy Man 17. Never Knew My Kisses 18. You're Welcome to Come Back Home

Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.
