During his session musician years, Elmer Snowden recorded with most every jazz outfit or blues singer in New York. Alongside regular collaborators clarinetist Bob Fuller and pianist Lou Hooper, one of the singers he accompanied on a few sides was the Empress of the Blues herself: Bessie Smith. Bessie Smith has her earliest recordings collected as The Chronological Classics: Bessie Smith 1923.
Here are the debut recordings of Bessie Smith:
