Adelaide Hall - That Wonderful, Yes Sir, That Marvelous Adelaide Hall (1970)

"Creole Love Call" by Adelaide Hall


Art Tatum was a must-see in Toledo when he was still a young talent.  Jazz musicians always made sure to hear him play if they were passing through town.  Jazz singer Adelaide Hall was the first to do anything more than just listen.  She hired him as one of her piano accompanists for her world tour and had him play on a couple of her sides when he relocated to New York City.

Complicated by the fact that she divided her career between the United States and England, Adelaide Hall's recording career has not been well-compiled, so I can't say I've found or heard all she has to offer.  She was also not very active during the era of the LP and it appears (again, not 100% sure) that the only LP with original recordings she released in her lifetime was That Wonderful, Yes Sir, That Marvelous Adelaide Hall.  It was a collection of re-recordings of her most iconic songs released in 1970. (Note: Her compilation album history is mostly redundant so I only include two on this list).
