Ivory Joe Hunter: Jumping At The Dew Drop (LP)

(Route 66) 16 tracks

It never rains in Sunny California - that's the old slogan. In the waning years of World War II, independent record producers in California found that it rained - dollar bills in green! And for the new music - rhythm and blues - the weather was sunny indeed. If jazz was coming up the river from New Orleans, rhythm and blues was crossing the Rocky Moun-Tains, fueled by a flood of dollars for the defense industry and the nervous and frantic "reconversion" blues that gripped the nation. Blacks, laborers and musicians, had followed the lure of big money and an excellent climate to California during the war. The previously separate and distinct black cultures of the South, East and Midwest came together to form the first true melting pot - California. After a grueling late shift and with their pockets full, workers flocked to the hundreds of nightclubs that offered live entertainment. And the musicians worked just as hard. Nat Cole, Louis Jordan, Ella Fitzgerald, Cootie Williams and other great stars played to sold-out crowds in the magnificent music palaces and auditoriums. In the club-lined streets, energetic trios and combos produced a new and enthusiastic music that was equal parts hot jazz, big band swing, Kansas City blues, and New Orleans jump. Later it was called rhythm and blues.

"Ivory Joe Hunter"

Ivory Joe Hunter,

born at Kirbyville, Texas, in 1914, was first recorded by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress in 1933. Moving to Los Angeles, he recorded for a number of small labels, having R&B hits with 'Blues At Sunrise' (on his own label, Ivory) and 'Pretty Mama Blues' (Pacific). In 1947, a King contract resulted in further hits : 'Guess Who', `Landlord Blues' and 'I Quit My Pretty Mama'. Moving to MGM, Hunter's successes included 'I Almost Lost My Mind' (No. 1, in 1950) and 'I Need You So'.

Having joined Atlantic, Hunter broke into the rock'n'roll market in 1956 with a Top Twenty hit, 'Since I Met You Baby'. His own subsequent discs for Dot, Capitol and Veep sold poorly, but Nat Cole, the Five Keys, Pat Boone and Elvis Presley all did well with his songs. In recent years, Hunter based himself in Nashville where, as a member of the Grand Ole Opry, he had hopes of a fresh career in country music, the field with which his soulful blues ballads and understated barrelhouse piano had close affiliations.

He died of cancer in a Memphis Hospital, on November 8, 1974.
